Summary

"These days, Americans and America provoke strong opinions from Arabs of all sorts, from politicians and journalists to the ordinary men and women of the 'Arab Street'. Their voices aren't always heard in the West, but for over a decade British journalist Andrew Hammond, based in the Middle East, has been listening to what they have to say, and in this book they are heard loud and clear." "Many of the issues are political. What do the Arabs think of American support for Israel or the close US relationship with Saudi Arabia? How have they reacted to the American occupation of Iraq? Moving beyond politics, what is the Arab view of American film, television or the latest hip-hop or rap music heard everywhere from the Lebanon to Algeria? And what, for that matter, do Arabs think of Americans themselves, their life-style, attitudes and character?" "Incorporating interviews with individuals of all sorts from all over the Arab world, What the Arabs Think of America gives voice to the unheard partner in a relationship in crisis."--Jacket.
