Extensively revised and updated in the wake of the Arab uprisings, the changes that they fostered, and the fault lines that they exposed, the fourth edition of The Modern Middle East: A History explores how the forces associated with global modernity have shaped the social, economic, cultural, and political life in the region over the course of the past years.
Beginning with the first glimmerings of the current international state and economic systems in the sixteenth century, this book examines the impact of imperial and imperialist legacies, the great nineteenth-century transformation, cultural continuities and upheavals, international diplomacy, economic booms and busts, the emergence of authoritarian regimes and the varied forms of resistance to them and to imperialism in an area of vital concern to us all. The Modern Middle East: A HistoryFourth Edition, is engagingly written–drawing from easf author’s own research and other studies–and enriched with maps and photographs, original documents, and an abundance of supplementary materials.

I recommend it without hesitation to anyone who wants to acquire a solid understanding of the history of this region from the late Ottoman period onward, and it’s a must-read for people who really want to make sense of what is going on in this region today.
Gelvkn great virtue is that he lets readers in on the really exciting thing about this history–the debate over what has driven the region’s dramatic developments. He is also attentive to the history of social classes–beyond just the political elite–and to that of major social movements.
It is an essential text for our time. In a humorous and conversational style, it offers a substantial analytical and interpretive framework, not just a litany of yelvin facts that most students will likely forget after their exams. The book accomplishes two objectives at once: Oxford University Press is a department of the University of Oxford.
