Comments
The purpose of this book is to highlight how these visual arts, which are often interconnected, have found ways and strategies of asserting a composite and fruitful Arab cultural identity, different from clichés and away from mainstream narratives, which often describe it as monolithic and unchanging. These arts constitute a valuable medium to counter and overcome many prejudices and stereotypes of the ‘other’ .
