  • Contending Visions of the Middle East: the History and Politics Of
    This page intentionally left blank Contending Visions of the Middle East The History and Politics of Orientalism Zachary Lockman’s informed and thoughtful history of European Orientalism and US Middle East studies, the “clash of civilizations” debate and America’s involvement in the region has become a highly recommended and widely used text since its publication in 2004. The second edition of Professor Lockman’s book brings his analysis up to date by considering how the study of the Middle East has evolved in the intervening years, in the context of the US occupation of Iraq and the “global war on terror.” ZACHARY LOCKMAN teaches modern Middle Eastern history at New York University. His previous publications include Comrades and Ene- mies: Arab and Jewish Workers in Palestine, 1906–1948 (1996). He has served as president of the Middle East Studies Association, speaks and writes widely on current events in the Middle East and US foreign policy, and is a contributing editor of Middle East Report. The Contemporary Middle East 3 Series editor: Eugene L. Rogan Books published in The Contemporary Middle East series address the major political, economic and social debates facing the region today. Each title com- prises a survey of the available literature against the background of the author’s own critical interpretation which is designed to challenge and encourage inde- pendent analysis. While the focus of the series is the Middle East and North Africa, books are presented as aspects of a rounded treatment, which cuts across disciplinary and geographic boundaries. They are intended to initiate debate in the classroom, and to foster understanding amongst professionals and policy makers.
