Every time that the US gets involved in the Middle East, or so it
seems, things turn sour. With this thought in mind, the objective
of this book is to help Americans and Europeans better understand
how the Arabs view the world and why they behave the way that they
do, their Arab psyche if you like. Along the way, the book provides
those who are about to embark upon an adventure in the Arab world
with a sketch of pleasures and pitfalls that await them. There are
plenty of both. The search for the Arab psyche traces its evolution
through the eras of tribalism, Islam, colonialism, flawed
independence, resurgent Islam, global terror, and popular
revolution. Each stage has left an indelible mark on the Arab
psyche while adding new complexities to the way the Arabs attempt
to cope with their ever changing world. American frustrations in
dealing with the Arabs have increased apace. The book is written in
a conversational tone and requires no prior knowledge of the Middle
East. Monte Palmer is a political psychologist who has spent most
of a long career studying Arab society and behavior. He is
Professor Emeritus at Florida State University and a former
Director of the Center for Arab and Middle Eastern Studies at the
American University of Beirut. His recent books include THE
POLITICS OF THE MIDDLE EAST, ISLAMIC EXTREMISM (with Princess
Palmer, ) and EGYPT AND THE GAME OF TERROR (a novel.)
