Nation and religion in the Middle East

Sinopse

"From the early days of the Arab nationalist experiment to the emergence of Islamic fundamentalism and beyond, the intertwining of politics and religion in the Middle East has been a salient feature of the region's history. Fred Halliday addresses this complex relationship, considering nationalism and Islamism region-wide, Islamic movements in Turkey, Iran, and Tunisia, and the likely fate of the remaining monarchies in the Arab world."--BOOK JACKET.
