The Arab psyche and American frustration (c2012)
Just started reading the Kindle edition of this book, after discovering it and two other books by Monte Palmer, an FSU emeritus professor who lives near me, who I met not long ago. This book’s clear direct writing and insights have immediately engaged my interest in the psychology, culture, and history of the Middle East, enigmas I’ve wondered about for decades in watching the U.S. and Europe continue to misunderstand the region.
The excerpt here is from pages 11 and 12. I’m now past page 30 and am finding a great many equally quotable parts.
