About the Author
Raphael Patai was a prolific cultural anthroplogist, folklorist, historian, and Biblical scholar. He published more than 600 articles and thirty books, including The Arab Mind, The Jewish Mind, Arab Folktales from Palestine and Israel, and Jadid al-Islam: The Jewish "New Muslims" of Meshed (the latter two published posthumously). Dr. Patai began studying Arabic at the age of eighteen in his native Hungary. In his early twenties, he moved to Palestine and lived there for more than fifteen years before coming to the United States, where he taught at Princeton, Columbia, and other universities. He died in 1996. He was the founding editor of Encyclopedia of Jewish Folklore and Traditions, finally published in 2013

Beginning with a description of the upbringing of a typical Arab child, or rather Arab boy and girl ~ there is no word for child in Arabic~ Raphael Patai goes on to a wide~ranging study of the entire Arab mentality. He describes the intense concern with family loyalty, honor, courage, and hospitality that all Arabs derive from the Bedouins, and analyzes the effect that the Arabic language has had on the way Arabs behave. (Like their language, they are inexact about time and tend to state things in extreme terms.) Patai explains the factors underlying the Arabs' tendency toward extremes of behavior as well as their tendency to substitute words for deeds. He devotes separate chapters to religion, sex, and nationalism, to the Arab response to Westernization and modernization, and to the relation between Arab art and the rest of Arab culture. What emerges is a lucid and fully~rounded portrait of one of the world's great cultures which has traditionally been underestimated and misunderstood by the West. Seller Inventory # 2141401
