Abstract

journal of world history, september 2013 only does the book reify and support the continued usage of the term Middle East (see chapter 3 specifically), but at times some of the all too familiar stereotypes of the Middle East (i.e., as a place of political extremism, resentments, and oil, and as lacking agency to change) are recycled (see the introductory chapter specifically). Both Bonine and Adelson make a cautionary statement about conflating and homogenizing such a vast area, but a more sustained critique is warranted. It is notable that literary scholars and feminist perspectives are absent from this book, and perhaps such contributions might have added a more critical perspective. Another area that could have been developed is an analysis of the impacts or effects of the use and evolution of the concept today. Though Hazbun does examine the effects of discourses today, and there are inklings of such points scattered elsewhere, the book misses the chance to probe into the ways in which the general public imagines this place, as well as how foreign policies are implemented today. A smaller concern is the lack of editorial discussion. Editorial introductions to each section were absent. These would have
