Doesn't do it for me,
By A Customer
This review is from: Gender in Crisis: Women and the Palestinian Resistance Movement (Paperback)
Though I am certain that Peteet is knowledgeable in her field of research, this book is quite painful to read. Her verbose style and anticlimatic narration leave the reader feeling bored and dissapointed. With such an interesting topic, I would have expected to be more captivated by this ethnography.
