Thoroughly revised and updated to keep pace with recent events, this introductory survey of the Middle East explains in depth the special and enduring role of Islam and presents a historical overview of the region. The authors examine contemporary issues on a thematic basis (not country by country) and offer an interdisciplinary social science perspective, choosing to focus on the interplay between economic, political, and cultural influences.
