The author examines various aspects of Palestinian Christians life in the early-twentieth-century. Despite constituting 10 percent of the population, the Christians comprised a large part of the Palestinian middle class and had an active role in the political, social, and economic affairs during the Ottoman Palestine and Mandate Palestine. Laura Robson highlights the indispensible role the Palestinian Christians in the national struggle.
