First sentence: The study of the modern Middle East, by scholars trained in the concepts and methods of modern historiography and using them in order to throw light upon their subject, has existed for some thirty or forty years, but it is only in the last few years that there has emerged-in North America and Europe, as well as in the region itself-a critical mass of scholars and students large enough to ensure that the study is carried on at a high level.
