Book excerpt: Arabic Culture and Society examines the important role religion plays in the Middle East and how it shapes people's personalities in the Arab world by informing both their belief systems and their lifestyles. Spanning centuries of history, the book explores the Middle East before the advent of Islam, the expansion of Islam, and the modern Middle East. In addition to the early history of the region, Part I of the book addresses pre-Islamic religion, early Islam, the Qur'an, Islamic holidays, Shi'ism, Sufism, and marriage and divorce in Islam. Part II of the text discusses the making of the modern Middle East, democracy in the Arab world, Arab media and the Al-Jazeera broadcast network, Muslim women in the Middle East, and political change. Arabic Culture and Society clarifies the connection between religion and the state, giving students a better understanding of the Middle East--past and present. It can be used in Islamic studies courses, as well as classes in humanities and international affairs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This wide-ranging examination of Arab society and culture offers a unique opportunity to know the Arab world from an Arab point of view. Halim Barakat, an expatriate Syrian who is both scholar and novelist, emphasizes the dynamic changes and diverse patterns that have characterized the Middle East since the mid-nineteenth century. The Arab world is not one shaped by Islam, nor one simply explained by reference to the sectarian conflicts of a "mosaic" society. Instead, Barakat reveals a society that is highly complex, with many and various contending polarities. It is a society in a state of becoming and change, one whose social contradictions are at the root of the struggle to transcend dehumanizing conditions. Arguing from a perspective that is both radical and critical, Barakat is committed to the improvement of human conditions in the Arab world.

Dedicated chapters provide an introduction to the religion of Islam and the Qur'an, and an exploration of Islamic communities throughout the ages. Additional chapters explore Arab poetry, literature, music, values, and thought, revealing the impact of major artworks and their creators on Arab life and tradition. The final chapters address the Arab Spring, the ongoing Syrian refugee crisis, and contemporary challenges and opportunities. An Introduction to Modern Arab Culture introduces readers to aspects of Arab culture while demonstrating how these facets intertwine to create a unique tapestry of identity, experience, and history. The book is well suited to courses in Middle East culture and history, politics, thought, literature, religion, and language, and courses in sociology, anthropology, and cultural studies.

Book excerpt: With the accession of the Arab dynasty of the 'Abbasids to power and the foundation of Baghdad, a Graeco-Arabic translation movement was initiated, and by the end of the tenth century, almost all scientific and philosophical secular Greek works that were available in late antiquity had been translated into Arabic. This book explores the social, political and ideological factors operative in early 'Abbasid society that sustained the translation movement.
