Syria has never conformed to its image in the West. This book shows that Syria is a complex society, where old and new coexist in ever-changing ways.
Castles soar above the desert, bikini-clad beauties sunbathe on pristine beaches, while pilgrims worship at ancient shrines. In the Ottoman souks, stalls selling dates and spices compete with displays of glittering high heels and lingerie. President Bashar Assad glares down from posters, as instantly recognisable as the secret police in their pointy black shoes and kipper ties. Young people flirt in cafes while older men play cards and smoke narghile. Syria has never conformed to its image in the West. This book shows what is wilfully overlooked in politics: that Syria is a complex society, where old and new coexist in fascinating and ever-changing ways.
