Landmark Cross-Cultural Journey,
By Theseus "theseus" (US of A) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Arabia Through the Looking Glass (Hardcover)
The first of Raban's books about the complicated inter-relationships between Arabs and the West.
"Jonathan Rabin was living in Earls Court when the Arabs arrived in Britain.... The streets and squares around South Kensington and Earls Court rapidly turned into London's Arab Quarter. There were Arabic graffiti on the walls, Arab cinemas, Arab kabab houses, Arab groceries, Arab butchers. Yet the people themselves remained unknown, even unknowable." "Puzzled, curious, and sharp-eyed, he set out to meet his new neighbors." "...Raban began a long looping journey around the Arabian peninsula. His trip through Bahrain, Quataqr, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Yemen, Egypt, and Jordan took him deeply into a fascinating and much-misunderstood society." "Arabia Through the Looking Glass opens up a world of amazing cities crowded with vivid and memorable characters."
