Understanding Arabs: A Guide for Westerners (The Interact Series)
by By Nydell, Margaret K.
Category: Travel , General

Arabs, those who come from North African countries, rather than all Muslims, are the subject of this guide.  Nydell (Arabic, Georgetown U., Washington DC), who was a trainer with the foreign service institute in Tunisia, provides helpful descriptions of the culture and mores of Arabic people, characterizing their attitudes and means of expression.  The book is full of tips and examples of what to expect in social situations.  Extensive appendices and bibliography are included, but there is no index. Annotation c.
