Deconstructing the Other: Teaching Politics of the Middle East.
Tetreault, Mary Ann
PS: Political Science and Politics, v29 n4 p696-700 Dec 1996
Discusses strategies aimed at moving undergraduates beyond the traditional stereotypical and demonized portrait of the Middle East. Suggests focusing on boundaries (shifting between national, cultural, religious, and economic), on bases of information (different students bring different knowledge levels), and using a wide variety of biographies and trade paperbacks.
