Sobre este item
New York, New York, U.S.A.: Oxford University Press, 2014 Oxford Univ Press, New York. 2014. Hardcover. Book is tight, square, and unmarked. Book Condition: Fine. DJ: Fine. Blue buckram boards and spine with bright silver lettering on spine. 223 pp. This book blends history, memoir, and reportage, drawing on the author's extensive knowledge of Syria in ancient, medieval, and modern times, as well as his experiences living in the Levant on the eve of the war and in the midst of the Arab Spring. These plotlines converge in a rich narrative of a country in constant flux- a place renewed by the very shifts that, in the near term, are proving so destructive. He focuses on five themes; role of Christianity in society; the arrival of Islam; the rise of sectarianism and competing minorities, the emergence of the Ba'ath party; and the current pitiless civil war. A clean pristine copy.
