<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"This book will become a classic."--Barbara Aswad, President, Middle Eastern Studies Association<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>This wide-ranging examination of Arab society and culture offers a unique opportunity to know the Arab world from an Arab point of view. Halim Barakat, an expatriate Syrian who is both scholar and novelist, emphasizes the dynamic changes and diverse patterns that have characterized the Middle East since the mid-nineteenth century.<br /><br />The Arab world is not one shaped by Islam, nor one simply explained by reference to the sectarian conflicts of a "mosaic" society. Instead, Barakat reveals a society that is highly complex, with many and various contending polarities. It is a society in a state of becoming and change, one whose social contradictions are at the root of the struggle to transcend dehumanizing conditions. Arguing from a perspective that is both radical and critical, Barakat is committed to the improvement of human conditions in the Arab world.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>This book will become a classic.--Barbara Aswad, President, Middle Eastern Studies Association<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A valuable addition to the body of works on the Arab world written in English by Arab scholars and will be a useful reference/textbook for Arab studies and comparative sociology courses."--Ruth K.
