The Middle East in London
London has grown as a Western centre for Middle Eastern interests. The large number of Middle Easteners living in London contributes to the city's cosmopolitan nature, bringing a new diversity of art and culture to the West. 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.

Studies in Modern Arabic Literature
This volume contains the majority of the papers delivered to a colloquium on Modern Arabic Literature held in July 1974. Their range and variety pay tribute to the achievements of a literature which, in its modern forms, has matured with impressive rapidity since the latter years of the 19th Century. All the major literary categories are represented here and represent accurately the strength of its tradition in Arabic Literature. After the discussion of general trends in Arabic poetry in the 'twenties and 'thirties, the papers on the post-war period present the same combination of a close citique of an individual poet.This edition includes thirteen essays on a variety of Arabic literature, inclusing poetry, plays and dramtic interpretation. 202p (Aris and Phillips 1975)
