Los retos y las oportunidades del mundo árabe en medio de una época de grandes cambios. Un enfoque novedoso sobre la situación de Oriente Medio al dar voz a los protagonistas de la historia, pues son los mismos árabes quienes se pronuncian. Una pequeña confrontación entre un vendedor de fruta sin permiso y las autoridades de Túnez provocó una revuelta popular que terminó con la huida del presidente Zine El Abdime Ben Ali y significó el final de un gobierno autoritario de más de veintitrés años. Los sucesos de Túnez sacudieron los corazones de los ciudadanos árabes que decidieron salir a la calle y cambiar su destino. No sólo el resentimiento de la juventud árabe en materia de empleo y futuro, la rabia por la corrupción y el favoritismo unido a la corrupción, la represión y el control motivaron la ola de indignación en Egipto, Argelia, Jordania, Libia, Yemen, también la distancia insalvable entre los gobiernos y los ciudadanos, la discriminación social y la frustración que se había ido acumulando durante años. ¿Por qué el mundo árabe vive una situación constante de descontento, con instituciones corruptas y regímenes tiránicos? ¿Quién es el verdadero responsable de lo que ocurre en Oriente Próximo? El periodista Brian Whitaker, que trabajó como editor en The Guardian durante siete años, busca en ¿Qué sucede en Oriente Próximo? las respuestas a estas preguntas con un análisis exhaustivo de los factores externos e internos que han influido en la situación actual del mundo árabe y nos ofrece un enfoque novedoso, pues son los mismos árabes quienes se pronuncian en extensas entrevistas, reportajes y encuentros a lo largo de estas páginas. La crítica ha dicho. «Whitaker escribe con conocimiento de causa y claridad sobre los muchos males que afectan a la sociedad árabe. [.] Estamos ante un informe brioso, de lectura agradable y revelador sobre los innumerables aspectos que hoy en día funcionan mal en Oriente Próximo» The Guardian «Whitaker pone al descubierto prácticamente cualquier aspecto de la cultura, la sociedad y la política árabes [.]¿Qué sucede en Oriente Próximo? es una obra basada en principios y directa, y no duda en criticar ampliamente al mundo árabe por sus defectos. [.] Una llamada para los ciudadanos árabes». International Affairs «Un escritor dispuesto a provocar bastantes polémicas. [.] Detallado y bien documentado».The Huffington Post «Ofrece un punto de vista colorido, inconfundible y bien informado sobre temas que no suelen abordar los autores occidentales cuando se plantean el futuro de la región» Northeastern University Political Review «Un libro interesante e informativo, y un ataque apasionado sobre los efectos corrosivos de la desigualdad». New Stateman «Debería ser de lectura obligatoria para las élites árabes desde al Atlántico hasta el Golfo. [.] Uno de los intentos más ambiciosos de los últimos años, por parte de un autor occidental, de analizar qué es lo que realmente va mal en Oriente Próximo». Patrick Seale, Al Hayat «Un libro bien informado que se muestra comprensivo con el tema que trata sin caer en la indulgencia. En el fondo [este libro] se impone la difícil tarea de encarar las causas socioculturales de los problemas del mundo árabe evitando caer en la trampa del esencialismo cultural». Middle East International.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Homosexuality is a taboo subject in the Arab world. While clerics denounce it as a heinous sin, newspapers write cryptically of 'shameful acts' and 'deviant behaviour'. Amid the calls for reform in the Middle East, homosexuality is one issue that almost everyone in the region would prefer to ignore. In this absorbing account, Guardian journalist Brian Whitaker calls attention to the voices of men and women who are struggling with gay identities in societies where they are marginalised and persecuted by the authorities. He paints a disturbing picture of people who live secretive, fearful lives and who are often jailed, beaten, and ostracised by their families, or sent to be 'cured' by psychiatrists. Deeply informed and engagingly written, Unspeakable Love reveals that - while deeply repressive prejudices and stereotypes still govern much thinking about homosexuality - there are pockets of change and tolerance. This updated edition includes new material covering developments since the book's first publication. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Western governments see the Middle East only in terms of its impact on the West. But how do people in the Middle East view their own countries, governments and institutions? Few would argue that the Middle East is thriving, but what do those living in the region identify as their greatest obstacles to peace, prosperity and full participation in today's global economy? Using his time as Middle East Editor for "The Guardian", as well as new research he has conducted for this book, Brian Whitaker analyses the views of Arabs living in the region and articulates the opportunities and challenges facing ordinary men and women. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
