Blending the author's years of research, personal memoir, and more than 300 illustrations, this compelling history of the modern Arab world explores the major thinkers, struggles, and turning points that have shaped the Middle East as we know it today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eZiadé begins in South Lebanon, 'land of martyrs, ruins, and passion', before taking the reader on a journey through Beirut, Jerusalem, Cairo, and Baghdad. The book moves from the beginning of the twentieth century to the present day, tracing the Arab world's tragedies and the derailing of dreams and possibilities caused in large part by Western imperialism and the conquest of Palestine.Within these pages there are the blasts of explosions, blood, and tears; cemeteries, wreaths, and ribbons; martyrs and paradise. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eZiadé unearths the buried memory of resistance fighters and their lost ideals. In haunting prose and unforgettable images she celebrates the progressive, bold, revolutionary moments and figures of the Arab world's recent past.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eFormat: Häftad (Paperback\/Softback) \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eSpråk: Engelska\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eAntal sidor: 424\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eUtgivningsdatum: 2024-01-20\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eFörlag: Pluto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eISBN: 9780745348155\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Sumud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53039665250570,"sku":null,"price":270.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/7469\/6714\/files\/mygreatarabmelancholy.jpg?v=1778680288","url":"https:\/\/sumud.se\/products\/my-great-arab-melancholy-by","provider":"Sumud","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
