Fluid Modernity
«
"Usually, orientalist scholars scrutinize Arabic literature and civilization, specialists of international relations deal with geopolitics, and philosophers elaborate concepts regardless of empirical data, all of them ignoring each other. Gilberto Conde does not fit any of these conventional categories. He is a critical thinker who consistently merges political theory, socio-economic analysis, and human ecology into a global approach to the complex reality of the Middle East. Water, he explains, is crucial for thinking the history, the structures of domination, and the strategies of liberation running through a region in which the conflicts and challenges of the latest three decades have been concentrated, and where the very future of the planet is at stake. Fluid Modernity sheds a new light on this entanglement. A creative, original, and irreplaceable book."
