Resurrecting Empire by Rashid Khalidi
Western Footprints and America's Perilous Path in the Middle East
A concise, historically grounded critique of Western — particularly American — policy in the Middle East that traces a continuous pattern of imperial intervention, strategic manipulation, and support for local strongmen from the nineteenth century to the present; it argues that successive U.S. administrations have repeated colonial-era practices under new guises (oil, Cold War, counterterrorism, democracy promotion), producing violence, instability, and resentment rather than security or justice, and calls for a fundamental rethinking toward restraint, respect for sovereignty, and policies that prioritize regional autonomy and human rights.
