In Sacred Violence; renowned medieval historian Jill N. Claster examines warfare between Christians and Muslims for control of the embattled city of Jerusalem. Beyond the battlefield; however; Claster explains the relationship of Jews; Christians; and Muslims to the Holy City and how that relationship still resonates today. The book encompasses the history of the kingdom founded by the Crusaders which lasted; against all odds; for two hundred years; and details the richness that emerged from the interplay of its many cultural groups. It also tells the story of how and why the Crusades came about; their impact on the Middle East and Europe; and their legacy to subsequent generations.Sacred Violence includes twenty-eight black-and-white images; a sumptuous colour insert; and numerous maps to draw the reader closer to this tumultuous history. A chronology and a list of key rulers provide further clarification of events. An extensive bibliography is included.

It's approachable and makes you feel the productive kind of shame (not the punitive kind). But; like many books; it repeats some of the same points over and over. After a while; you begin thinking; "OK; I don't need to hear about one more research study to see the point you're making!" That being said; I did enjoy reading it and I plan to return to it when building an anti-racist; anti-bias identity curriculum for my students this year.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
