cooperstreet Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Is anyone out there applying to study Middle East History for 2010? If so, where are you looking? What period? What kind of language skills do you have? What are some colleges that would normally fly under the radar, but have excellent Middle East programs?

geigwm6 Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Georgetown's History program isn't the best renowned, but the Middle East History is great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misterpat Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Sub-question, for those capable of answering the OP's question: Anyone know of a particularly great historian of Iran? I'd like to get a "Concise History of Iran," but don't know who to look for, and I don't want to put too much faith in Amazon's recommendations.

While it doesn't exactly fit into the "concise history" mold, you should check out Roy Mottahedeh's The Mantle of the Prophet: Religion and Politics in Iran. It's a sort of fictionalized biography that very effectively brings out many of the themes of recent Iranian history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
