Between past and present: Archaeology, ideology, and nationalism in the modern Middle East - Hardcover
Do the latest archaeological discoveries in the Middle East have hidden political significance?. . .On this tour, we discover that the politics of this turbulent region often influence--an in turn are sometimes influenced by--the discoveries of archaeologists.

From Publishers Weekly:
Eyeballing the ruins of Masada and Troy and puzzling over the identity of the Hyksos invaders of ancient Egypt, archeologist Silberman explores how interpretations of archeological discoveries are often shaped by nationalistic feelings, and political and ethnic rivalries. "Written with modesty and charm, this is an outspoken analysis of the politicization of archeology," judged PW.
