First published in German in 1928, combining the study of climatic conditions with anthropology, geography, botany, history, astrology and linguistics, Dalman’s original motivation was to re-imagine Biblical times, but he did not bury himself in relics of the past. Instead he travelled widely and shared the life of peasants, city dwellers and bedouin alike. What he produced, and published in 1928, and reprinted in 1987 stands today as an unparalleled documentation of the everyday life of Palestinians of all faiths in their natural environment.

Even the most seasoned Middle East observers were taken aback by the events of early 2011. Protests born of oppression and socioeconomic frustration erupted throughout the streets; public unrest provoked violent police backlash; long-established dictatorships fell. How did this all happen? What might the future look like, and what are the likely ramifications for the United States and the rest of the world? In The Arab Awakening, experts from the Brookings Institution tackle such questions to make sense of this tumultuous region that remains at the heart of U.S. national interests.
