MULTIPLE IDENT O/T MIDDLE EAST(ISBN=9780805211184) 115盘 下载 pdf txt 电子版 mobi snb docx

　　The Middle East is the birthplace of ancient civilizations,

but most of the modern states that occupy its territory today are

of recent origin, as are many key concepts of communal and

individual identity and loyalty that the peoples of the region now

confront. In The Multiple Identities of the Middle East, eminent

Middle East historian Bernard Lewis elucidates the critical role of

identity in the domestic, regional, and international tensions and

conflicts of the Middle East today.

Examining religion, race and language, country, nation, and

state, Lewis traces the rapid evolution of the identities of the

Middle Eastern peoples, from the collapse of the centuries-old

Ottoman Empire in 1918 to today's clash of old and new allegiances.

He shows how, during the twentieth century, imported Western ideas

such as liberalism, fascism, socialism, patriotism, and nationalism

have transformed Middle Easterners' ancient notions of community,

their self-perceptions, and their aspirations.＝

To this fascinating historical portrait, Lewis brings an

understanding of the region and its peoples, as well as a profound

sympathy for the plight that the modern world has imposed on them.

The result is an invaluable tool in our understanding of an area

that is of increasing global importance and concern today.
