5.0 out of 5 stars The Arab World vs. the Arab Mind!, October 21, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Arab World: Society, Culture, and State (Paperback)
Someone who had read the "Arab Mind" of Raphael Patai, has to read this book also. This book elaborates the social-cultural devolpment and psychology of the Arab Region through different prespectives. Although Halim Barakat sounds very "arabic-emptionalized" in some conclusions and concepts, his book offers a possible answer of the big question: WHY they (Arab People, wherever they exist) think and act in this way, but also WHY people in different cultures think and act in different way. Very intersting concepts and hypothesis for new thories, which could be useful for cross-cultural researchers in general.
