We pay a high price when we fail to understand Islam writes Roger Hardy in this timely guide Designed for readers of all backgrounds this book demystifies the phenomenon of Islamism and the forces that drive it situating the movement within a clarifying history that views Islamism for the last two hundred years as the product of a war against Western domination and as a consequence of the disappointments of modernization Roger Hardy builds his narrative around personal travels and his encounters as a journalist covering Mideast and Islamic issues for more than three decades He illuminates the political role of Islam in several distinct countries and regions Egypt Iran Pakistan Sudan Saudi Arabia Turkey Southeast Asia and Europe At the same time he unravels a history of Islamism from its origins in colonialism to its present manifestation in AlQaeda and global jihad In a provocative conclusion Hardy warns that without a more comprehensive understanding of Islamism the West will forfeit its peacebrokering advantage and indeed lose the hearts and minds of Muslims

In 1976 Nahlah Ayeds family gave up a comfortable life in Winnipeg for the squalor of a Palestinian refugee camp in Amman Jordan The transition was jarring but it was during this unsettling period that Ayed first closely observed the people whose heritage she shared She had to become accustomed to rudimentary housing and crowded streets unfamiliar social customs and the prevailing mood of loss and mourning But it was hearing the familys stories of exile and displacement that profoundly affected her The family returned to Canada when Ayed was thirteen and the Middle East and its problems receded for many years But the First Gulf War and the events of 911 reignited her interest And as an Arabicspeaking journalist she was soon reporting from the region full time covering its dangerous conflicts and trying to make sense of the wars and upheavals that have affected its people and sent so many of them seeking a better life elsewhere In A Thousand Farewells Ayed vividly describes the myriad ways in which ordinary Arabs have coped with oppression and loss From her own early days witnessing protests in Amman to watching the amazing Arab Spring uprisings in Egypt and Libya Ayed offers nuanced and insightful analysis Throughout she focuses on the people whose lives have been so dramatically affected A Thousand Farewells is the heartfelt and personal chronicle of a journalist who has devoted her career to covering one of the worlds most volatile regions
