ENCOUNTERS WITH THE MIDDLE EAST: TRUE STORIES OF PEOPLE AND CULTURE
THAT HELP YOU UNDERSTAND THE REGION focuses on the encounters and
stories of ordinary people, surveying interactions with 30 writers who
go beyond a social report to consider how life is lived in the region.
Their experiences bring to life the daily trials and promises of the
Middle East and makes for a strong survey for any collection strong in
contemporary Middle East culture and issues, from high school and
college libraries to the general-interest lending collection.
