The Oxford Handbook of Contemporary Middle Eastern and North African History cover

The Oxford Handbook of Contemporary Middle-Eastern and North African History critically examines the defining processes and structures of historical developments in North Africa and the Middle East over the past two centuries. The Handbook pays particular attention to countries that have leapt out of the political shadows of dominant and better-studied neighbours in the course of the unfolding uprisings in the Middle East and North Africa. These dramatic and interconnected developments have exposed the dearth of informative analysis available in surveys and textbooks, particularly on Tunisia, Libya, Yemen, Bahrain and Syria.

...the handbook does offer a comprehensive and usually high-quality collection of essays covering a wide range of topics and as such will still prove to be a very useful and instructive overview of the modern Middle East and its historical background. * Asher Susser, bustan: the middle east book review *
