Paperback Description:
Using the cities and culture of the Middle East as a backdrop, this travelogue explores issues within the Arab world and in its relations with the West. Serious debate is interspersed with witty travel dialogue to discuss many issues facing the Eastern world today, such as the adoption of Western popular culture, the war on terror, the Arab-Israeli conflict, martyrdom, the position of women in Islam, and the Western view of the Muslim world.
