'...Cultural Transitions in the Middle East" is a challenging work that sheds light on a complex subject."' B. Saadallah, "Modern Greek Studies Yearbook", 1995. '"Space does not permit us to do full justice to the richness and depth of the scholarly vision that is displayed throughout this suggestive work...All in all, it is an exciting work that is fresh in its outlook, yet deep in analysis and should prove challenging to anyone who is interested in the History of Ideas..."' S. Parvez Manzoor, "Muslim World Book Review", 1996.
