Description: The Birthplace of Jesus Is in Palestine by Toine Van Teeffelen, Marie Dennis Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description The Birthplace of Jesus Is in Palestine is a narrative of a Christian family in Bethlehem in the West Bank. Based on diary entries and interviews from 2000 to 2023, the Dutch author--an anthropologist and peace activist--chronicles the spontaneous reactions of his Palestinian children and wife navigating the challenges posed by curfews and checkpoints. Problems of Palestinian school life are shown from the perspective of teachers and students. Against the background of Israeli occupation and settlement building, the intricacies of Palestinian culture in its daily rhythms and domestic spaces come to life. Throughout the pages, the key Palestinian concept of sumud, or steadfastness, is explored. The memoir details acts of creative nonviolent resistance, individual protests, affirmations of cultural identity, and inspiring examples of Muslim-Christian community. The book also reveals unexpected connections between Palestinian culture in the Bethlehem area and broader Christian values and traditions. An afterword reflects upon implications of Israels war in Gaza. Author Biography Toine van Teeffelen, an MA graduate in social anthropology and a PhD holder in discourse analysis from the University of Amsterdam, moved from the Netherlands to the occupied West Bank in 1994. Alongside working as a guide, he conducted workshops for universities, schools, and educational NGOs, and served as the development director at the Arab Educational Institute in Bethlehem. His contributions on discourse analysis and Palestine have appeared in local publications and international journals.
