Elie Kedourie was one of the twentieth century's most important and controversial historians of the Middle East. He redefined the landscape of the field by challenging the notion that the West's imperial domination of the region spawned nationalism in Arab countries. In a long career lecturing in politics at the London School of Economics, Kedourie inspired a generation of political scientists and politicians. A dedicated scholar and meticulous teacher, he founded Middle Eastern Studies, a journal which, forty years after its launch, remains one of the leading publications in the field and...

Kedourie has been variously described as an angry young man, a sceptic, a conservative, a pessimist, an imperialist, a Zionist, an anti-Zionist, an anti-Arab, and even starry-eyed about imperialism - all labels which attempt to categorize him but reveal nothing about the man or his work. This book is a collection of essays evaluating Kedourie's work and his legacy to scholarship. Of his own work, three pieces are included and one of his essays: The Jews of Babylon and Baghdad is published here for the first time.

Turkey's modern history has been full of instability and continuing contradictions. The nature of national identity and its relationship to the state continues to be an issue and Turks are still faced with the conflict between the twin goals of joining the West and preserving their own cultural forms. The emergence of Islamicism as a political ideology has helped to shape politics in Turkey, as it has had to compete in the political market place with other, secularist, parties and to play the game according to the rules of secular democracy, rather than a millenarian revolutionary vision....

This collection examines the issues which have shaped, and will continue to influence, Turkey's foreign and domestic policy: the legacy of the Ottoman empire, the concept of...
