About this product
Product Information
In the days immediately following the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, the American media turned to Middle East experts for over-the-airwaves analysis of the motivation, rationale and ideology of the perpetrators - and, at times, for advice on what the United States should do in response. Not since the Gulf War had so many academics been brought before the cameras and the microphones. Some were insightful, informed and informative. Many, however, were superficial, misguided and plain wrong. As Kramer argues in this examination of the state of his profession, America is ill served by the way in which the Middle East is studied and presented at institutions of higher education across the nation. The academic understanding of the Middle East is framed not by the realities of the region, but by the fads and fashions that have swept through the disciplines, as well as the prejudices that have enslaved the academics themselves. Middle Eastern studies have failed - at a time when understanding of the Middle East has become crucial to America.

- a***o (684)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseExcellent condition for its age (better than the picture)! Very good pricing. Delivery time was amazing- 3 days through Fed Express. I was worried Fed Express package would not prevent book from getting wet today, but I was wrong. Very, very well packaged. Inside the envelope it was in a cardboard container and inside that it was wrapped in plastic. Book is perfect. Very happy and would not hesitate to buy from her again.
