This book documents the three-day conference held by SOAS (The Centre of Near and Middle Eastern Studies) in 2001. The book features speeches by Middle Eastern experts, including Venetia Porter, Fred Halliday, Ahdaf Soueif and a keynote address by Hanan Ashrawi. Art and photography from the conference is displayed in full colour images, accompanied by commentaries. The conference, transformed here into a well-designed book, is interspersed with photographs of modern day Middle Eastern life in London and aims to display the mingling of two cultures. The book should appeal to anyone interested in the art, culture and customs from the Middle East. |
