From the Back Cover

'This book treats a number of important topics, including the colonial heritage that molded a violent and distorted subsequent political development in many countries....Altogether it offers something that is rare in Middle Eastern studies, a view from within the society and culture. The perspectives presented here give us a unique opportunity for understanding the internal dynamics of this region.' Donald Quataert, Director, South West Asian and North African Studies Program, SUNY-Binghamton
