About this Item

164 pages, text in English, map the Arab World, table of contents, notes, bibliography and references, illustrated cover, Understanding Arabs! Western contact with the Arab World has incresed dramatically; yet our perceptions of each other are often mired in old sterotypes. Understanding Arabs goes a long toward dispelling many of the Westerner s misconceptions regarding Arab perceptions and behavior. It is not a politcal analysis, and it offers no easy answers to the "Middle East Problem." Instead, it provides a careful examination of Arab values, beliefs, and social practices, especially as they contrast and affect interaction with Europeans and North Americans. Like other volumes in the InterAct Series, Understanding Arabs constitutes a kind of cross-cultural handbook. It is short and succinct, written in simple, straightforward prose, and it sheds light on those aspects of culture and thought which most critically affect cross-cultura relationships. it will be a helpful companion to those who wish to better comprehend what they read and hear in the media, and an invaluable guide for people who interact dicectly Arabs and wish to do so with greater skill and understanding. Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 210.
