For the past century or more, students of Middle East studies in the U. S.,
Europe, and the Arab World have upheld an East-West differentiation rooted
in Orientalism. In the post World-War II years modernization arose to
compete with the more classical Orientalism and political economy emerged as
a variant of this modernization. It appeared that the dichotomy between East
and West might be eliminated. The consequences of this failed endeavor—the
end of the developmental revolution marked a resurgence of Orientalism—was
nothing less than staggering, not only on the level of thought but of
policy.
This series suggests it is time for a new beginning. The dominant tradition
has left the region culturally disenfranchised. Authors are encouraged to
submit scholarly volumes, books with great popular appeal, translations,
texts, and reprints of classic works.
