Produktbeschreibung

To understand the Middle East we must also understand how the West produced a temporal narrative of world history in which westemers placed themselves on top and all others below them. This book shows how Arabs, Muslims, Turks, and Jews absorbed, revised, yet remained loyal to this Western vision.
