Clear-eyed and passionate, and syndicated throughout the world, they are the direct result of Soueif's own circumstances of being \"like hundreds of thousands of others: people with an Arab or a Muslim background doing daily double-takes when faced with their reflection in a western mirror.\" Whether an account of visiting Palestine and entering the Noble Sanctuary for the first time, an interpretation of women who choose to wear the veil, or her post--September 11 reflections, Soueif's intelligent, fearless, deeply informed essays embody the modern search for identity and community.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ahdaf Soueif\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1400096634\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781400096633\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Anchor Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/11\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.54lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.98h x 5.30w x 0.77d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/15\/2005 pg. 905\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/05\/2005 pg. 51\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eIngram Advance\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2005 pg. 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2005 pg. 76","brand":"Ahdaf Soueif","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44450126463231,"sku":"9781400096633","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c3e92013-be8c-40e1-bf77-58a8646bd5ad.jpg?v=1698502926","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mezzaterra-ahdaf-soueif-9781400096633","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
