TY - JOUR AU - Van Ess, Josef AB - REVIEWS and research has not been encouraged. In many cases, it is simply not practical or even physically safe for Jewish scholars, especially Israelis, to visit Arab countries, and scholars of Judaism are no more welcome. Contributors to this book are almost all Jewish or Israeli academics based at American or Israeli universities (including the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Haifa and Bar Ilan), many of whom have fam- ily roots in the Islamic world. This book will make an excellent introductory survey text for students of Middle Eastern history. It also shows up the long road ahead, obstructed in the UK at the time of writing by a proposed academic boycott of Israeli institutions. doi:10.1093/jss/fgl055 SHARMAN KADISH UNIVERSITY OF MANCHESTER SULIMAN BASHEAR, Studies in Early Islamic Tradition (The Max Schloessinger Memorial Series.
