Produktbeschreibung
This book presents a Saudi literary representation of the United States and its people from an imagological perspective. Imagology is a sub-field under the umbrella of comparative literature studies, which focus on self or other national characters are constructed and conceptualized.

Furthermore, these representations validate the argument that the representation of others is self-representation as well.
