Reimagining Arab Political Identity

Justice, Women's Rights and the Arab State

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book discusses the idea that Arab cultural and political identity has been suppressed by centuries of dominance by imperial outsiders and by religious and nationalist ideologies with the result that present day Arab societies are characterised by a crisis of identity where fundamentalism or chaos seem to be the only available choices.
