AI-generated Review of “Empires of the sand”:
"Empires of the sand" Description:
The Open Library:
"Empires of the Sand offers a reinterpretation of the struggle for mastery in the Middle East during the long nineteenth century (1789-1923). This book denies primacy to Western imperialism in the restructuring of the region and attributes equal responsibility to regional powers. Rejecting the view of modern Middle Eastern history as an offshoot of global power politics, the authors argue that the main impetus for the developments of this momentous period came from the local actors."--BOOK JACKET. "Empires of the Sand sees a pattern of pragmatic cooperation and conflict between the Middle East and the West during the past two centuries, rather than a "clash of civilizations." Such a vision affords new ways of viewing the Middle East's past as well as its volatile present."--BOOK JACKET.
