ASMEA, led by Bernard Lewis and Fouad Ajami, promotes the highest standards of academic research and teaching in the fields of Middle Eastern and African studies and related disciplines. This year’s conference will discuss the historical and cultural links between the two regions; the history of religious and communal conflict and coexistence; how current strategic, political and economic concerns are reshaping old regional rivalries; and issues related to genocide, terrorism and democratization.



The LSS BOOK EXHIBIT—at the center of the meeting space in the Potomac Room Foyer—will be a featured component of the conference. Your books and journals will be displayed for maximum promotional impact. Our exhibit offers attendees a unique opportunity to buy significant titles on Middle Eastern, African and Islamic Studies—both historical and contemporary—from the major publishers in these fields. Our professional exhibit managers actively promote your titles by distributing flyers and catalogs, discussing books with conferees, selling titles on-site using publisher-supplied order forms and urging instructors to consider titles for course adoption and library acquisition. Attendees visit our exhibits repeatedly over the course of a meeting.


Once you have downloaded and printed out the reservation form, simply fill it out and fax it back to us at (413) 832-8145 to hold a place for your press. Please also send us via fax or e-mail one copy of your book list, indicating list and discount prices of each title on display. Shipping information will follow.


We look forward to promoting your books at this event.

With best regards,
Orion Anderson
