Recenzje

“This clearly unique book speaks to a timely and important topic that has simply not been addressed sufficiently by current pedagogy. A book that helps teachers to teach authentic texts by and about people from the Middle East [is] a welcome addition to our current resources on teaching literature.”—Amanda Haertling Thein, University of Pittsburgh
 
“There is an obvious need for this book because of U.S. involvement in the Middle East—always pressing but currently precipitous….  Allen Webb demonstrates the experience and knowledge to address the dynamics of a constantly changing Middle Eastern situation and to meet the pedagogical challenge of building collaborative understanding in face-to-face and electronic classroom exchanges.”—Betsy Hearne, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign (Emerita)
