About This Book
"Africa and the Middle East are undergoing dramatic environmental, demographic, economic, and political transformations. Endangered Peoples of Africa and the Middle East: Struggles to Survive and Thrive turns the spotlight on 14 endangered cultures as examples of how diverse peoples are coping with these radical evolutions in the 21st century.".
"Little-known groups such as the Ogoni of Nigeria, who face environmental degradation from multinational exploitation of oil resources and government collusion, are presented alongside well-known groups like the Kurds, some of whom have been displaced as a result of civil war and live beneath a repressive Iraqi regime.
The issues, viewpoints, and solutions presented by chapter authors are often controversial, and the format allows students and interested readers to use critical-thinking skills as they gain knowledge of other cultures."--BOOK JACKET.
