Dr. Judith Cochran gives the reader a much needed, thorough and brave account of educational history in the Middle East. She intertwines the historical, political and religious background with the development of education in many of the countries, arguing that the seeds of democracy and democratic ideals have already been planted; what these societies really need are courageous and innovative governments that utilize education to unite their peoples rather than hide behind the rubric of pluralism to reinforce divisions. As a student of the impact of education on women, especially in the Middle East, I find this book to be a great original work and an essential read to all those who are interested in reform, and equity and social justice for all, not just the chosen few.--Mirna Lattouf How can education serve as a transformative instrument in a society?
