About the Book

In this ground-breaking exploration of the roots of the conflict between the US and the Muslim World, LeVine argues that the notion that most Muslims hate the US and the West is a fabrication used to help fundamentalists on both sides to maintain political, economic or cultural power. Offering a critique of those central to the branding of Islam as a source of violence and backward-thinking, LeVine contetst the apread of what he calles an Axis of Arrogance and Ignorance by advocating an Axis of Empathy as the only strategy that can bring about a long-term solution.

Review :
"Perceptive, cosmopolitan, and dazzlingly well-informed." - Thomas Frank; "A bold and iconoclastic work based on extensive personal experience, research, and cultural practice ... essential for understanding what is happening in the Middle East today." - Joel Beinin, Professor of Middle East History, Stanford University; "Mark LeVine is a wandering minstrel who also happens to be a brilliant Middle Eastern scholar. He hangs out with all the wrong people and brings back profound insights that challenge the idiot stereotypes and ethnic calumnies that pass for American foreign policy." - Mike Davis, author of City of Quartz and Dead Cities; "A clarion call for building genuinely alternative cross-cultural bridges in the age of the 'war on terror.'" - Chris Toensing, Editor, Middle East Report; "Juxtaposing history, economics and popular culture, LeVine shows us a Middle East full of possibilities far more varied, and hopeful, than one would ever suspect existed." - Ken Pomeranz, author of the award-winning The Great Divergence; "Everybody talks about 'globalization' and 'terrorism' but few do it with such analytical clarity and moral outrage. An awesome book." - Rodolfo D. Torres, author of Savage State: Welfare, Capitalism, and Inequality.
