The Arabists : the Romance of an American Elite / Robert D. KAPLAN [Livre collectif ou dépouillé]

Auteur principal: KAPLAN, Robert D., Langue : anglais.Publication : Maxwell Macmillan, Toronto : 1993Description : 333Note de contenu : "[...] The Arabists dominated American policy and shaped our perception of the Arab world throughout the colonial and interwar periods. But after World War II, the diplomatic corps began to change, reflecting the country's new ethnic and social diversity. Kaplan describes the impact of this change within the State Department, showing how the advent of Irish Catholics, Jews, and Harvard-trained regional experts created internal pressures that slowly loosened the Arabists' grip on Middle East diplomacy in the postwar period. Drawing on interviews, memoirs, and other official and private sources, Kaplan reconstructs the hundred-year history of the Arabist elite, and traces their decline against the background of this social transformation." from https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/411907.The_Arabists Sujet: arabisants Type de document : incendié
