{"product_id":"tea-in-the-harem-mehdi-charef-9781852421519","title":"Tea in the Harem","description":"\u003cp\u003eA housing estate in the Paris suburbs. Madjid is growing up caught between two cultures. At home, he listens to his mother's constant invective in Arabic as she attempts to make sense of her unfamiliar surroundings; at school, he tries to be part of French culture, a culture that rejects and insults Arabs. In a direct language, punctuated by moments of poetic beauty, Mehdi Charef portrays a reality only too rarely the subject of fiction. An immediate success upon publication in France in 1983, Tea in the Harem became the rallying-point for second-generation Algerians and Moroccans, who gave themselves the name 'beur': slang for 'Arab'.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mehdi Charef\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1852421517\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781852421519\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Serpent's Tail\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/1990\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 5.00w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/07\/1990","brand":"Mehdi Charef","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44045794246911,"sku":"9781852421519","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c8ff3b02-cccf-4c20-8296-47b840725642.jpg?v=1684980799","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/tea-in-the-harem-mehdi-charef-9781852421519","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
