Middle East Inquiry and Reflection: April 2010
http://middleeastinquiryandreflection.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Middle East Inquiry and Reflection. Friday, April 23, 2010. Since I was so fond of Hosseini's A Thousand Splendid Suns. I decided to take a look at another one of his books that had been recommended to me, The Kite Runner. I found this book equally intriguing though very similar to A Thousand Splendid Suns. Also a coming-of-age novel, the story highlights the strong personal relationship between two unlikely individuals, although in this case males. A Thousand Splendid Suns. Laila, on the other hand, is ...

Palestinian Literature and more....: November 2009
http://palestinianliterature.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Palestinian Literature and more. Thursday, November 19, 2009. After reading Persepolis I find, like I tend to find after reading almost all books, that I do not know what I think of the novel. The novel all at ones seems to address issues of education, freedom, the creation of history, gender roles, fanaticism and a search for ones self. However, a question that seems to be pervading throughout the novel is "who is the enemy? Perhaps the better question is who is not the enemy? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Postcolonial Literature: The Middle East: The Bus Driver Who Wanted To Be God
http://litpcme.blogspot.com/2009/11/bus-driver-who-wanted-to-be-god.html
Postcolonial Literature: The Middle East. Wednesday, November 11, 2009. The Bus Driver Who Wanted To Be God. Like almost everyone else in class, I really liked Etgar Keret's The Bus Driver Who Wanted to be God. At first I thought some of the stories didn't really have too much of a point, but after going back and looking again, I was pretty satisfied that they mostly all do. Mostly. As Carly. Says, though, I don't know how much some of the stories tell us about Israeli culture. Wristcutters: A Love Story.

Postcolonial Literature: The Middle East: Corrective (?) Lenses
http://litpcme.blogspot.com/2009/12/corrective-lenses.html
Postcolonial Literature: The Middle East. Tuesday, December 15, 2009. I'd like to take a moment to discuss something about the literature we've been reading. We're all here trying to get an idea of other cultures through literature. But I think we're facing a little bit of a wall. I have enjoyed almost all of what we have read and watched, I think that it is all valid and useful. I am glad to have read and seen all that I have. We read Marjane Satrapi's wonderful Persepolis. While the book is engaging, w...

Palestinian Literature and more. Thursday, December 10, 2009. December 13, 2009 at 3:07 PM. I agree with your thought about people must erase all of their previous stereotypes about other cultures in order to define their own. I found the youtube video interesting as these are the only clips I have seen of Rick Steves before this. December 16, 2009 at 5:49 PM. December 17, 2009 at 9:36 AM. December 17, 2009 at 11:19 AM.

Palestinian Literature and more. Wednesday, September 30, 2009. Uncovered: the whole truth about the Iraq war. This video was overwhelming to me at first. The amount of information, endless list of credentials and the large amount of experience the people in this video had or provided was almost numbing. In spite of this, however, I did appreciate the extent to which the film provided knowledgeable individuals that had experience in the topic at hand. Wednesday, September 23, 2009. What is so disturbing ...
