الخيام والأهرامات (Book)

Tents and pyramids deals with an unusual and absorbing topic: how the Arabs see and deal with reality and the implications this has for the nature of power in the Arab world. 'Tents' and 'pyramids' are, metaphorically, opposed mentalimages; the first signifies the absence of hierarchy and graded authority, the second the presence of both. Khuri argues that the Arabs perceive both social and physical reality as a series of discrete, non-pyramidal structures that are inherently equalin value-much like a bedouin encampment composed of tents scattered haphazardly on a flat desert surface with no visible hierarchy.

Authority is not built into a hierarchical arrangement where roles are subordinated to one another in a graded system (as in the west); it is, rather, derived from the use of sheer physical power, with one person dominating the others-a first among equals'. Strategy, manoeuvrability and tactics take precedence over office and structure. The strategy is to actin groups; the isolated are vulnerable.
