Product Description:
This work argues that a little-discussed aspect of Arab society and government - the fear that is both used as a weapon by government and felt by the people - has created some of the region's most deep-seated problems and hindered the development and growth of the Arab people. It maintains that collective fear and anxiety play major roles in the continuing political and social disorder of the Middle East. It shows that fear and anxiety are commonplace, and they keep us alert and socially engaged as individuals. Collectively, however, these emotions are dangerous, fuelling the violence at loose in the Middle East at present. With examples drawn from the World Trade Center tragedy and its aftermath, this text explores how fear affects broad political concerns, such as the peace negotiations between the Arabs and Israelis, as well as matters of daily life - whole generations now grow up without a sense of safety, without trust, and without hope that a decent life in the political environment is possible.
