Extract

The following report was prepared by Morroe Berger, professor of sociology and director of the Program in Near Eastern Studies at Princeton University (and president of MESA), at the request of the assistant secretary for education in the United States Department of Health, Education and Welfare. It is one of the series of reports on the world’s regions in connection with the implementation of the International Education Act. This report reflects, of course, Professor Berger’s views which are not necessarily those of the agency which requested the report or of MESA. The Bulletin Invites comment from MESA members on the report and on any of the issues raised in it. Readers should bear in mind that Professor Berger prepared and submitted the report early in May 1967, before the outbreak of war in the Middle East.

In writing this paper I have drawn considerably on (1) the work Of the Joint Committee on the Near and Middle East of the American Council of Learned Societies and the Social Science Research Council, especially in the last five years, (2) discussions with members of the grants committees of the American Research Center in Egypt and the American Research institute in Turkey, and (3) talks in March, April and early May 1967, with a dozen colleagues at five or six universities.
