Interested in reading a forbidden book? Well, now you can. Decades of so-called “post-colonial” Edward Said-influenced anthropology and Middle East studies have been dedicated to preventing the appearance of this book: Philip Carl Salzman’s Culture and Conflict in the Middle East. Daniel Pipes has called it, “one of the handful of most important books I’ve read during nearly four decades of studying the Middle East.” I’ve written an extended review essay on the book and its broader implications for the war on terror: “I and My Brother Against My Cousin.” If you want to see the book Middle East studies academics don’t want you to read, this is it.
