The Middle East: Opposing Viewpoints - Softcover

Rezensionen

Gr 9 Up-This title examines the major issues as presented by spokespersons from the governments of the countries involved, journalists, college professors, clergy, and policy analysts. Issues presented examine why the conflict exists, how religion affects the Middle East, what role the U.S. should play there, and how peace could be achieved. The issues are presented through edited texts of speeches, magazine and newspaper articles, and essays. Each section includes a bibliography of additional periodical articles. Most of the sources appear to be from the United States and Great Britain, giving a western slant to the viewpoints. A section of organizations to contact includes only those in the U.S. The book is illustrated with several black-and-white political cartoons and maps of the area.-Elizabeth Stumpf, Clearfield Middle School, PA
