Required reading to get a fairly good balanced view of things going on in the middle east and that culture's view of themselves and the United States ( ) A very interesting analysis of the current state of affairs in several countries in the middle east. Said countries being Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Yemen. It is sad to note that pretty much anywhere in the middle east, a vast majority of the population is under the sway of despots and anarchic regimes. I would have liked the author's perspective on Turkey. A very interesting analysis of the current state of affairs in several countries in the middle east.

Since his boyhood in Qadhafi's Libya, Neil MacFarquhar has developed a counterintuitive sense that the Middle East, despite all the bloodshed in its recent history, is a place of warmth, humanity, and generous eccentricity. In this book, he introduces a cross-section of unsung, dynamic men and women pioneering political and social change. There is the Kuwaiti sex therapist in a leather suit with matching red headscarf, and the Syrian engineer advocating a less political interpretation of the Koran. MacFarquhar interacts with Arabs and Iranians in their every day lives, removed from the violence we see constantly, yet wrestling with the region's future. These are people who realize their region is out of step with the world and are determined to do something about it--on their own terms. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
