Sandcastles: The Arabs in Search of the Modern World
Milton Viorst
A book about the 200 million Arabs who share a language and a variety of historical experiences, the culture of Islam -- and a deep-seated uncertainty about their place in a world changing at terrifying speed. In the midst of war, enormous economic disparities, personal and ideological rivalries and threats from the outside, the Arabs are searching for their place in the modern world. Viorst, drawing upon his long personal experience as a correspondent in the Middle East, takes us into the aspirations, fears, prejudices, hopes and convictions of the inhabitants of 7 key countries, and of the people without a country -- the Palestinians.
