The essays are very high quality, written by well-qualified
researchers, and address a subject of high interest to those
concerned with development/political issues related to the Middle
East. They...make a significant contribution to the field of
educational reform and development, identity construction and
nation building. . Eleanor Doumato, Watson Institute, Brown
University
This volume will prove a valuable contribution for scholars and
policymakers interested in educational policy, curricular reform,
historiography, and Arab World identities. . Nabil Al-Tikriti,
University of Mary Washington
Education systems and textbooks in selected countries of the
Middle East are increasingly the subject of debate. This volume
presents and analyzes the major trends as well as the scope and the
limits of education reform initiatives undertaken in recent years.
In curricula and teaching materials, representations of the "Self"
and the "Other" offer insights into the contemporary dynamics of
identity politics. By building on a network of scholars working in
various countries in the Middle East itself, this book aims to
contribute to the evolution of a field of comparative education
studies in this region.
