About This Item
Melbourne: Scribe Publications Pty Ltd, 2009. 1st Australian ed.. Paperback trade, very good condition, minor edgewear. 243 pp. Joris Luyendijk, a Dutch journalist and anthropologist, tells the story of his five years as a correspondent in the Middle East. He speaks Arabic and communicates with stone throwers, terrorists, taxi drivers, and professors, victims and aggressors, and community leaders and families. He has firsthand experience of dictatorship, occupation, terror, and war. His stories cast light on a number of major crises, from the Iraq War to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. He shows powerful examples, leavened with humour, that show the ways in which the media gives us a filtered and manipulated image of reality in the Middle East. (Translated from the Dutch.).
