‘Due to its rich historical and interdisciplinary nature, I
strongly recommend this book to students and researchers of Middle
East studies who would like to deepen their understanding of not
only the political but also the social and cultural dimensions of
Middle East affairs.’

Südwestasiens und Nordafrikas in der Zwischenkriegszeit, die eine
dynamische Region erkennen lassen, die nicht nur unter Kategorien
wie Kolonialismus oder Antikolonialismus subsumierbar ist.’
