A War of Words

Language and Conflict in the Middle East

Herausgeber: Tripp, Charles; Clancy-Smith, Julia A.

Beschreibung

Yasir Suleiman considers national identity in relation to language, the way in which language can be manipulated to signal political, cultural or historical difference. As a language with a long-recorded heritage spoken by the majority of peoples in the Middle East, Arabic is a particularly appropriate language to study and provides a penetrating means of exploring the conflicts of the Middle East.
