42. New Book Series “Worlding the Middle East“
(Stanford University Press)
This
series investigates the “worlding” of the Middle East, the ever-changing,
ever-becoming dynamism of the region. It seeks to capture the ways in which it
is being reimagined and unmade through flows of world capital, power, and
ideas. We encourage studies in not only traditional disciplines (e.g., history,
politics, anthropology), but also those that push the boundaries into other
areas (e.g., economics, religious studies, public health, city planning, art).
