{"product_id":"tribes-and-states-in-a-uzi-rabi-9780190264925","title":"Tribes and States in a Changing Middle East","description":"At the outset of the twenty-first century and in the midst of the Arab Spring, tribe-state relations are a useful frame of reference through which to analyze the Middle East on a state-by-state basis. \u003cem\u003eTribes and States in a Changing Middle East\u003c\/em\u003e looks beyond the dichotomy between tribe and state. Its central theme is the role of tribes and tribalism in state politics, society, and identity, as demonstrated in case studies from the Arab East (mashriq). The book is a comparative endeavour that seeks to address questions related to the interplay between tribal organizations and state institutions, tribal solidarity and nationalism, and tribal power and the centralized government. It further discusses the impact and role of tribal polities in modern states in times of regional and national turmoil.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Uzi Rabi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0190264926\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780190264925\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.30w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2017","brand":"Uzi Rabi","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44119393992959,"sku":"9780190264925","price":74.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0bd529cf-5e05-4cbf-bdab-b8eb3048ff25.jpg?v=1687409111","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/tribes-and-states-in-a-uzi-rabi-9780190264925","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
