Award-winning journalist and poet Eliza Griswold will be joining us at Frontline Club to discuss her latest book, The Tenth Parallel.
A New York Times bestseller, the book, subtitled Dispatches from the Fault Line Between Christianity and Islam, is an exploration of religion and conflict along the circle of latitude 10 degrees north of the equator that Griswold spent seven years journeying along
Crossing the parts of Africa, Asia and south Asia where Christianity and Islam meet, Griswold, whose work appeared in The New Yorker, The New York Times Magazine and Harpers, explores the perception that religion is the cause of frequent clashes.
After talking to Muslim and Christians from Africa to Indonesia, Griswold concludes that there is more to these conflicts and that poverty, unemployment, corruption and colonialism all play a part.
Join as at the Frontline Club as we journey along the Tenth Parallel to explore 'the knife edge where Islam and Christianity meet.'
Griswold will be join by Seamus Murphy, photojournalist with VII and winner of six World Press Photo Awards. He began photographing Afghanistan in 1994, and his new book A Darkness Visible: Afghanistan documents the rise of the Taliban and the impact of U.S. invasion.
