Becoming Arab: The Formation of Arab Identity in the Medieval Middle East explores how the identity of people in the Middle East became Arab.
It challenges traditional views of how the region became Arab.
It examines the shift in political power and changing land rights.
It also looks at the spreading Muslim faith.
The book argues that the region’s medieval peasants adopted the Arab identity in response to these shifts.
This change happened between 1000 to 1500 CE.
