The
Middle East and the Peace Process Edited by Robert O.

"This book elegantly counters the strategic premise around which so much international, and Middle Eastern, thinking has revolved, namely that the Arab-Israeli dispute is determinant for the region as a whole."-- British Journal of Middle Eastern Studies "The scope of this volume is broader than that of his earlier studies, including valuable contributions on Turkey, Iran, Sudan and North Africa along with traditional examinations of the policies of Israel, the Palestinians, and their immediate Arab neighbors." -Middle East Studies Association Bulletin
"A highly satisfying book that will be of great interest both to psychoanalytic critics and to students of the English novel. . . . By taking the theme of father-daughter incest as a guiding thread, Jane Ford traces a pattern of indisputable importance in the works of Shakespeare and four major English novelists."--Peter L. Rudnytsky, University of Florida
