Series: The History of Christian-Muslim Relations

On 9 July 1860 CE, an outbreak of violence in the inner-city Christian quarter of Damascus created shock waves locally and internationally. This book provides a step-by-step presentation of events and issues to assess the true role of all the players and shapers of events. It critically examines the internal and external politico-socio-economic factors involved and argues that economic interests rather than religious fanaticism were the main causes for the riot of 1860. Furthermore, it argues that the riot was not a sudden eruption but rather a planned and organised affair.

Reviews for Muslim-Christian Relations in Damascus amid the 1860 Riot

...[...] It's not often that a doctoral thesis can be so eminently readable and draw readers into the investigation as well as any whodunnit! Who was responsible and what were their motives? And why be interested in this subject today? .....We should be grateful to Dr Rana for such a convincing analysis of events in the 1860s which are still part of the collective memory of many Christians in Lebanon and Syria today.
