“The Syrian crisis has captured the attention of many research centres, as well as governmental and non-governmental organisations in many countries around the world,” writes Hassan Abbas, PhD in literature, in the book’s introduction. “Researchers from all over the world began discussing topics related to Syria. We cannot ignore the phenomenon, and we should not reject it for any reason whatsoever. We must, however, celebrate all national efforts to understand study and analyse the pressing issues and questions related to our homeland. Ettijahat- Independent Culture makes this a primary focus and this book is a fine example.”
Five Research Papers on Contemporary Syrian Questions is published with the support and collaboration of Mimeta: Center for culture sector development and arts cooperation and Mamdouh Adwan Publishing House.
