In Between Empires Greg Fisher tackles the problem of pre-Islamic
Arab identity by examining the relationship between the Roman
Empire and the Empire of Sasanian Iran, and a selection of their
Arab allies and neighbours, the Jafnids, Nasrids, and Hujrids.
Fisher focuses on the last century before the emergence of Islam
and stresses the importance of a Near East dominated by Rome and
Iran for the formation of early concepts of Arab identity. In
particular, he examines cultural and religious integration,
political activities, and the role played by Arabic as factors in
this process. He concludes that interface with the Roman Empire, in
particular, played a key role in helping to lay the foundation for
later concepts of Arab identity, and that the world of Late
Antiquity is, as a result, of enduring interest in our
understanding of what we now call the Middle East.
