Just a few words to amplify and clarify my talk on the video. I am new at this video blogging and not quite ready for prime time so excuse the gaffes I made.
In this video I talk briefly about the Arab Mind by Raphael Patai. It is a must read for anyone interested in the Arab culture. Most of Patai’s observations were from the late thirties and forties but they remain as prescient as ever and I explain why in my video. Hopefully my point will get across.
