Reviews

'Across the Arab world, communities defined by ethnicity, tribe, religion and sect experience differential treatment politically, economically and socially. What explains such disparity? Sites of Pluralism is a timely volume addressing this question through numerous, detailed case studies.' -- Steven Vertovec, Managing Director, Max Planck Institute for the Study of Religious and Ethnic Diversity 'Oruc's timely edited collection highlights the limitations of a Statist approach to understanding the Middle East and its interlocking identities. With-well written pieces by leading authorities, coherently welded together, the book provides fresh insights into long-standing conundrums.' -- Joshua Castellino, Executive Director and Professor of Law, Minority Rights Group International
