Sie sind Politikwissenschaftlerin und haben die dutzendfachen rassistischen Beschreibungen in diesem üblen Bestseller einfach konsumieren können?
Wegen der Romantik?

✒️ #LeonUris, American novelist, #DOTD 21 June 2003. #Literature #Writing

Selten ein Buch so voller #Exotismus und rassistischer Klischees über Araber/Muslime gelesen: #LeonUris: Haddsch.
( #KarlMay war ein Ehrenmann dagegen). Aber spannend zu lesen - verarbeitet die Geschichte Palästinas/Israels mit Familiengeschichte, in der es allerdings von Negativstereotypen wimmelt.
