The topic has experienced a resurgence in the last few years, especially during the Trump era. Middle Eastern Christians are often portrayed as a homogeneous, helpless group ever at the mercy of their Muslim enemies, a situation that only Western powers can remedy. The Politics of Persecution revisits this narrative with a critical eye. Mitri Raheb charts the plight of Christians in the Middle East from the invasion of Napoleon Bonaparte in 1799 to the so-called Arab Spring. The book analyzes the diverse socioeconomic and political factors that led to the diminishing role and numbers of Christians in Palestine, Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, and Jordan during the eras of Ottoman, French, and British Empires, through the eras of independence, Pan-Arabism, and Pan-Islamism, and into the current era of American empire. With an incisive expose? of the politics that lie behind alleged concerns for these persecuted Christians--and how the concept of persecution has been a tool of public diplomacy and international politics--Raheb reveals that Middle Eastern Christians have been repeatedly sacrificed on the altar of Western national interests. The West has been part of the problem for Middle Eastern Christianity and not part of the solution, from the massacre on Mount Lebanon to the rise of ISIS. The Politics of Persecution, written by a well-known Palestinian Christian theologian, provides an insider perspective on this contested region. Middle Eastern Christians survived successive empires by developing great elasticity in adjusting to changing contexts; they learned how to survive atrocities and how to resist creatively while maintaining a dynamic identity. In this light, Raheb casts the history of Middle Eastern Christians not so much as one of persecution but as one of resilience." --$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aPersecution$zMiddle East$xHistory 606 $aPersecution$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01058354 606 $aPolitics and government$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01919741 606 $aWar$xReligious aspects$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01170374 607 $aMiddle East$xPolitics and government 607 $aMiddle East$xReligious aspects 607 $aMoyen-Orient$xPolitique et gouvernement 607 $aMiddle East$2fast 608 $aHistory.$2fast 615 0$aPersecution$xHistory. 615 7$aPersecution. 615 7$aPolitics and government. 615 7$aWar$xReligious aspects. 676 $a275.6 700 $aRaheb$b Mitri$01731735 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910838359003321 996 $aThe Politics of Persecution$94144829 997 $aUNINA LEADER 05930nam 22007814a 450 001 9911020051703321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a9786610268870 010 $a9781280268878 010 $a1280268875 010 $a9780470024805 010 $a0470024801 010 $a9780470014080 010 $a0470014083 035 $a(CKB)1000000000018863 035 $a(EBL)191368 035 $a(OCoLC)181840096 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000206328 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11174708 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000206328 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10212887 035 $a(PQKB)11345338 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC191368 035 $a(Perlego)2772298 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000018863 100 $a20021024d2003 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aMulti-antenna transceiver techniques for 3G and beyond /$fAri Hottinen, Olav Tirkkonen, Risto Wichman 210 $aWest Sussex, England ;$aHoboken, NJ $cJ.

In so called MIMO (multiple input multiple output) systems, multiple antennas are deployed both at the transmitter and the receiver. In MISO (multiple input single output) systems, the receiver has only one antenna, and the multiple transmit antennas are used for transmit diversity.The key aspects of multiple antenna transceiver techniques for evolving 3G systems and beyond are presented.
