Site of the Day for Wednesday, September 25, 2002
Arab Culture and Civilization
The List presents a comprehensive website dealing with a vast range of
material on Arab culture. Gentle members who may have more questions than
answers about conflicting views of arab culture will find this
well-researched and inclusive site a helpful source of information.
"The National Institute for Technology and Liberal Education has developed
this site, with funds from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, as a resource
for all who would develop a better understanding of the Arab world. While
our principal audience is the students, faculty, staff and alumni of the
liberal arts colleges served by NITLE, the site is open to all visitors. .
. The materials comprising the site are organized thematically into a set
of ten modules, each of which contains a variety of original texts, video
clips and audio files from online and print sources." - from the website
The modest closing sentence above belies the depth and breath of this
far-reaching web project. Among the topics covered are History, Ethnicity
and Identity, Literature and Philosophy, Popular Culture and the Performing
Arts, Family and Society, and Art and Architecture.
The site is too extensive for a single session but merits a bookmark as a
sound reference on the topic.
