TY - BOOK N2 - "The Middle East and Central Asia: An Anthropological Approach, Third Edition, depicts the impact of global economic and political change in the Middle East and Central Asia against pervasive social and cultural continuities. The world-wide competition for vital resources - oil, water, and land - is set alongside the struggle for political and religious authority; volatile national, ethnic, and religious identities; rising educational levels; accelerated population growth and diminishing economic opportunities; shifting gender roles; and the personal, family, and communal ties through which the people of the Middle East render their day-to-day existence more stable and predictable."--BOOK JACKET.
