Middle East Reviews: Second Edition

The volume brings together reviews of books published about the Middle East and North African (MENA) countries in the fields of social sciences and humanities, in particular. It follows objectives similar to those of our previously published monograph of book reviews regarding this region. The first volume titled Post Arab Spring: Middle East reviews was published by the Washington-based Policy Studies Organization (PSO)/Westphalia Press. As with the previous edition, the reviews published in the present volume include complete bibliographic information for each title and a detailed and analytical signed review for each listed book. The reviews are written by scholars who are experts in their respective subject and geographic areas of the MENA region. The reviews cover established subjects such as history, social sciences, literature, as well as relatively new subjects that have emerged in the currently published literature on the Middle East and North Africa, among them: Islamophobia, Islamic terrorism, the war in Yemen, the Syrian civil war, Saudi social and political reforms--
