Special Collection on the Middle EastThe Middle East and North Africa is a troubled region, and it isn’t easy to find a success story to write about or a rewarding political experience to report. Much of what shaped the region today stems from its historical experiences: the region did not have its renaissance and missed the age of reason and the industrial revolution. European colonialism blocked Arab and Muslim efforts to modernize and espouse rational thinking. This complete work consists of several dozen essays spread out over 8 parts tackling the region’s conflicts and historical evolution, relating them to contemporary issues. Divided into distinct regions and critical issues, the Special Collection of the Middle East is your source to better understand this volatile region and to be prepared for what comes next.
