What reading level is The Tenth Parallel: Dispatches From the Fault Line Between Christianity And Islam book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
—DINKA SONG1 If Sudan splits along the tenth parallel, it will become two countries, one black and Christian, the other more Arab and northern. When I traveled to the north-south border, and to the frontline village of Todaj, in 2008, I was startled by how aware people were of the tenth parallel’s significance as both a geographic and ethnic divide. Partly this was a result of the failed 2005 peace deal, which was supposed to give both sides rights to the land along the tenth parallel: leaders f...rom both sides knew the lines on the map, since they determined whether or not the whole town would survive. But it wasn’t the town that mattered this time; it was the oil beneath, and I wanted to see it. I’d flown above the fields—thousand-mile grids sliced into the sudd—from above. Swamp water shone through the slots. I’d thought of the determined Karl Kumm nearly swimming across what he’d called “one vast lake that culminates between the seventh and the tenth parallel.” From the ground, oil was a more mysterious affair, and that was no accident.
