[PEN-L:33647] RE: suggestions for a syllabus of course on the Middle East



"Nationalism and Class Struggles in the Arab World" by Ahmad El Kodsy (I
recall hearing this was a pen name of Samir Amin?) is dated but very
useful still. It was included in the Monthly Review book THE ARAB WORLD
AND ISRAEL, and the other piece in that by Eli Lobel may also be useful.

Arie Bober's work was useful to me.  I think he had a Zed book, but I'm
not sure. What I found helpful was his "reserve army" approach to
analyzing Israel/Palestine.  Things have changed now with Israel
bringing in 'guest workers' to replace Palestinian labor, but the
general framework was good, and the history is important.
