520 "This distinguished anthology presents for the first time
in English travel essays by Arabic writers who have
visited America in the second half of the century. The
view of America which emerges from these accounts is at
once fascinating and illuminating, but never monolithic.
The writers hail from a variety of viewpoints, regions,
and backgrounds, so their descriptions of America
differently engage and revise Arab pre-conceptions of
Americans and the West. The country figures as everything
from the unchanging Other, the very antithesis of the Arab
self, to the seductive female, to the Other who is both
praiseworthy and reprehensible"--|cProvided by publisher.
