A1383: Beyond Hummus, Dictators, and Aladdin: Unraveling Misconceptions of the Arab World in Cascade Fall 2014 (Oct. 21, 2014)
All you know about the Middle East is that you like their food, that you've seen the movie Aladdin and know the lyrics to "A Whole New World," and that every time you see footage of the Middle East on the news it involves explosions, bearded men calling for the downfall of the U.S. and crazy dictators. This class will break down your perceptions of the Arab World by looking at the language, culture, religion and traditions of Arabs and the Arab World and by examining the skewed depiction of Arabs you can see in Western pop culture and mainstream media. So if you like movies, TV, learning about different cultures, or most importantly, if you love hummus - we'd love to have you in our class!
