About This Item
New York: Anchor / Doubleday. Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 1985. First Edition; First Printing. Hardcover. xvi, 366 pages; Clean and secure in original binding, review material laid-in. Beyond considering the history, religion, leadership, and current social trends in the Arab world, the authors closely examine the lives of its people to portray the realities of daily life in the Arab nations. The authors reveal the human face of the Arab World as they revisit and talk with newsmakers and colleagues, old friends and new. Their forty years of experience in the region help illuminate the human consequences of changes all too often discussed in abstractions and generalizations: the military conflicts, new urbanization, labor migration, religious revival, as well as radical changes in the roles of men, women, and the family. .
