Their testimony, revealing the true extent of occupation, prejudice, revolution, and routinized violence, is a compelling example of the literature of witness. He then links these tales of survival to an examination of the Arab intelligentsia's response to Saddam Hussein and the Gulf War, comparing the flood of condemnation of the West with the trickle of protest over Saddam's mass murder campaign against the Kurds In his exploration of these \"landscapes of cruelty and silence,\" Kanan Makiya lays out the nationalist mythologies that underlie them. He calls for a new politics in the Arab world--a politics that puts absolute respect for human life above all else.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 368\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 x 8.1 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 01, 1994\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47384836997298,"sku":"9780393311419","price":27.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/nwOLQb1KaK9780393311419.webp?v=1783073592","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/cruelty-and-silence-war-tyranny-uprising-and-the-arab-world-paperback","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
