This volume is a welcome contribution to the study of two still relatively neglected areas of scholarship: Shiism and the history of Palestine. The detail is so rich that the reader is left almost wishing the book were longer. It can only be hoped that others will use this work as a starting point for many more studies related to the Shiis in Palestine.

"The Shs in Palestine broadens the historical study of Shism and Sh Muslim communities in the Middle East and the Levant, much of which has focused on the large Sh communities in modern-day southern Lebanon, Iraq and Iran. Friedman draws upon a wide collection of Muslim historical and theological writings, including materials produced by Ibn Arab, al-Ghazl and Ibn Taymyya. In addition to adding to the historiographical literature, the book also serves as a useful addition to the ethnographic literature on Islamic art and architecture and Palestinian folklore. It will be of interest to scholars and students of Islamic studies, Middle Eastern history, Palestinian studies and Sh studies."
