Islamism and Modernism: The Changing Discourse in Iran (CMES Modern Middle East)

Islamism and Modernism: The Changing Discourse in Iran (CMES Modern Middle East) by Farhang Rajaee
English | August 28th, 2012 | ISBN: 0292717563, 0292716788 | 292 pages | EPUB | 3.23 MB

While many previous books have probed the causes of Iran's Islamic Revolution of 1979, few have focused on the power of religion in shaping a national identity over the decades leading up to it. Islamism and Modernism captures the metamorphosis of the Islamic movement in Iran, from encounters with Great Britain and the United States in the 1920s through twenty-first-century struggles between those seeking to reform Islam's role and those who take a hardline defensive stance.

Israel, a Beachhead in the Middle East: From European Colony to US Power Projection Platform

Israel, a Beachhead in the Middle East: From European Colony to US Power Projection Platform by Stephen Gowans
English | May 10th, 2019 | ISBN: 1771861835 | 290 pages | EPUB | 1.66 MB

Washington has poured billions into Israel's economy and military and, since 1967, Israel has undertaken innumerable operations on Washington's behalf against states that reject US supremacy and economic domination. The self-appointed Jewish state has become a watch-dog capable of sufficiently punishing neighboring countries discourteous towards the West. Stephen Gowans challenges the specious argument that Israel controls US foreign policy, tracing the development of the self-declared Jewish state through its efforts to suppress regional liberation movements integrated into the US empire as a pro-imperialist Sparta of the Middle East.
