Welcome to IOU Digital Library

Zachary Lockman's informed and thoughtful history examines how the West has studied and perceived the Middle East, from ancient times to the post-9/11 era. The book analyzes the development of Orientalism, the evolution of Middle East studies, and the political and scholarly debates surrounding these fields. This second edition updates the analysis to consider the impact of events such as the U.S. occupation of Iraq and the 'global war on terror' on Middle East studies.
