The Closed Circle

More about the book

Examining the influence of tribal, religious, and cultural traditions, the author argues that Arabs are trapped in a closed circle that shapes their interactions both among themselves and with the West. The book highlights how postwar dynamics have led to a resurgence of ancient tribal and kinship structures, contributing to systemic violence. Praised as a thought-provoking study, it offers a critical perspective on the underlying forces driving Arab society today.
