| Zusammenfassung: | A Single "Arab nation" has never existed, not even a thousand years ago, when the Arabs, driven by a rigorous new faith, conquered the Middle East and North Africa. Today, two hundred million Arabs share a language and a variety of historical experiences, the culture of Islam - and a deep-seated uncertainty about their place in a world changing at terrifying speed In the midst of war, enormous economic disparities, personal and ideological rivalries and threats from the outside, the Arabs are searching for their place in the modern world It is this search that Milton Viorst examines in Sandcastles.

What emerges is a profoundly perceptive picture of the Arabs as they have been, as they are, and as they may become |
