Yasir Suleiman's 2004 book considers national identity in relation
to language, the way in which language can be manipulated to signal
political, cultural or even historical difference. As a language
with a long-recorded heritage and one spoken by the majority of
those in the Middle East in a variety of dialects, Arabic is a
particularly appropriate vehicle for such an investigation. It is
also a penetrating device for exploring the conflicts of the Middle
East, the diversity of its peoples and the diversity of their
viewpoints. Suleiman's book offers a wealth of empirical material,
and intriguing, often poignant illustrations of antagonisms
articulated through pun or double entendre.
