"Syria has served as a major crossroads in the Middle East since prehistoric times,
leaving it open to change and passing customs from other societies. Syria's melting
pot of cultures has led it to become an ethnically diverse country, sometimes leading
to turbulence among other countries as well as within its own borders. Focusing on
contemporary traditions, topics such as religion, cuisine, fashion, music, and art
unveil Syria's true modern-day culture. Readers will discover how Syrians live today-what
they eat, what they wear, and how they celebrate life in today's conflicted Middle
East."--Product decription
