Publisher: C Hurst & Co Publishers Ltd
Jordan's diverse socioeconomic make-up is unparalleled in the Middle East, encompassing a range of pressing short-term challenges as well as the underlying issues that Arab states will need to address once the current spate of civil conflicts subsides. These challenges include meaningful youth employment, increased female participation in politics, and the integration of refugees into society.
This book delves into the story of Jordan through the experiences of ordinary individuals, including a political cartoonist, a Syrian refugee, a Jihadist, and a female parliamentarian. The raw voices and everyday struggles of these people provide a unique perspective on the politics, religion, and society of a culture grappling with the realities of modernization and urbanization amidst regional upheaval.
Rana Sweis, with her extensive knowledge of Jordan's landscape, language, and culture, paints an intimate portrait of the intricacies and complexities of life in the Middle East. Rather than solely focusing on the impact of regional events on individuals, she highlights the role that these individuals play in shaping their own lives and times. Voices of Jordan presents these stories in their entirety, offering a living, breathing social and political history.
The book explores various themes, including the historical background of Jordan, the role of religion in society, the challenges faced by women and minorities, and the impact of regional conflicts on Jordanian society. Through the voices of these individuals, the book sheds light on the complexities and contradictions of Jordanian culture, highlighting the resilience and determination of its people in the face of adversity.
Voices of Jordan is a valuable contribution to the literature on the Middle East, offering a fresh and nuanced perspective on a country that has often been overlooked or misunderstood. It is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the region's complex social and political landscape.
