Writing Off the Beaten Track
Judith Caesar · 2002
על הספר
"Written by an American woman who resides and teaches in Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates, these informal sketches of life in the Gulf capture the flavor of that exotic corner of the Arab world. Even as she acquaints us with intriguing aspects of Emirati culture, Judith Caesar notes the varied difficulties inherent in perceiving another way of life, especially one that has been ignored and frequently misrepresented in the West. The author provides a unique view of the diverse ways in which American pop culture affects Middle Eastern thought and custom, from shopping and song to fashion and fads." "Writing Off the Beaten Track will be vastly useful to teachers of Middle East studies and those who have contact with non-Western students. Readers interested in the region and travel aficionados will find it an enlightening and highly original read."--BOOK JACKET.
