This weekend, the Association for the Study of the Middle East and Africa (ASMEA) will hold its seventeenth annual conference in Washington, D.C., from 2nd-4th November.
Manchester University Press sadly can’t be there in-person this year, but you can find a few of our latest titles – including two new additions to our Identities and Geopolitics in the Middle East series – on display at the Ingram stand! Plus, we’ve put together a reading list of books that reach across continents and disciplines to help us better understand the complex and interconnected histories, geographies, politics, and cultures of these regions.
Explore the full ASMEA 2024 reading list at our virtual bookstore below, and use code EVENT30 at checkout for 30% off RRP.
