Middle Easterners struggle to find solutions to crises of economic stagnation, political gridlock, and cultural identity. The author presents an analysis of Islam's place in Middle East and integrates the medieval and modern history of the region to show how the sacred and secular are tightly interwoven in its political and intellectual life.
