Philip A. D'Agati Livres

This textbook provides a comprehensive overview of the Model Arab League (MAL) programme for first time and returning students. Drawing on over fourteen years of combined experience in successfully leading award-winning MAL delegations, Philip D'Agati and Holly A. Jordan provide students with an introduction to being a delegate and tips on effective research techniques as well as simplifying the complex process of taking on the identity of a state and then representing it effectively in a MAL debate.

The exploration of nationalism is central to the narrative, as the book analyzes how Olympic ceremonies from 1980 to 2006 serve as platforms for expressing national identity. It highlights the roles of historical revision, indoctrination, and custodianship in shaping official state narratives, showcasing how host countries have crafted performances to redefine their identities and histories during the Games.
