Contending Visions of the Middle East: The History and Politics of Orientalism by Zachary Lockman

Zachary Lockman's informed and thoughtful history of European Orientalism and U.S. Middle East studies, the 'clash of civilizations' debate and America's involvement in the region has become a highly recommended and widely used text since its publication in 2004.
