Description

Winner of the Middle East Studies Association 2013 Undergraduate Education Award

Utilizing a mixture of documents–including photographs, posters, diaries, diplomatic records, archival sources, and literary works–The Up to date Middle East and North Africa: A History in Documents is structured around an underlying theme of unity in diversity. This theme helps to offset students’ stereotypical image of the Middle East and North Africa as an undifferentiated, monolithic, and unchanging a part of the world inhabited basically by terrorists and non secular fanatics. Compiled and edited by two prominent historians, Julia Clancy-Smith and Charles Smith, the book’s approach offers a compromise between conventional political and diplomatic histories and the ones that specialize in social and cultural history. The authors demonstrate how the Middle East and North Africa have participated in and shaped the grand currents of global history right through the past two centuries. Headnotes, extended captions, sidebars, introductory essays, and a robust photo program (including a documentary picture essay devoted to ladies and gender) provide an very important context framing the documents.
