Over the course of 13 chapters, readers learn about the emergence and influence of Islam in Arab culture, religious and ethnic minorities within the Arab world, the critical role of family in Arab life, and the origin and evolution of the Arabic language. 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.

While exploring the crisis of the Arab culture and the political as well as the economic challenges in the Middle East region, the author was able to unravel many of the changes occurring in the Arab world at large in a lucid manner which helps the reader to understand the riddles in many Arab societies.
I highly recommend the book as references for courses on the Middle East and the Arab world. This book will not only help serve students but it will serve a wide spectrum of American and non-American readers who are interested in understanding the complex nature of the Arab world and its rich culture and its diversity. The books links the past with the present and the future of the Arab world.”
