"Contains a wealth of information on the nature, development, and
progress of this rarefied topic in historical scholarship....This
competently researched, very well written, and elegantly produced
study throws bright light on its subject matter, not only as a
particular item in the inventory of Arab culture, but also as an
institution that exists within overall socio-political and economic
systems of varied though closely related
polities....Wholeheartedly
recommended."--CHOICE
"This is the first book-length study in English about the
subject...this is a very well-researched book, valuable for its
substantive analyses, organization, and exhaustive bibliography.
Compared with other studies in Western languages on the subject, it
is a big step forward."--International Journal of Middle East
Studies
"...Ayalon provides us with a much-needed general survey of the
press in the Arab world and also with much detail on individual
newspapers and journalists...Ayalon shows an admirable mastery of
his subject...This is a work that will be much referred to by
students and scholars in years to come."--American Historical
Review
"[T]his is a well written book with a wealth of
information"--Journal of Palestine Studies
"Anyone with an interest in the media and politics in the Middle
East will treasure Ayalon's thorough history of the rise of print
media in the Arab world...Scholars will want this book in their
personal libraries..."--Religious Studies Review
