This book, developed for students at the University of Michigan-Dearborn, is a remix of Alam Payind’s and Melissa McClimans’ 2017 open text, “Keys to Understanding the Middle East,” published by Ohio State University.

Whether for establishing or deepening one’s knowledge of the region, these fundamentals are important to know.
