It's Not What You Think

An American Woman in Saudi Arabia

Beschreibung

Itâ s Not What You Think is a wry, incisive account of working in Saudi Arabia that offers insight into that insular patriarchal society, what is so attractive to expatriates living there, and what was contradictory or confining about it for a naturalised American who is a woman and a Muslim.
