Book Description
"I think it is the most eloquent of female dances, with its haunting lyricism, its fire, its endlessly shifting kaleidoscope of sensual movement."
With these words, Wendy Buonaventura explains her own fascination with Arabic dance. Her book is a unique celebration of the female dancers of the Arab world, and their impact on the West. She explains the origins of this ancient art, which has survived in the face of commercialism, religious disapproval and changing times.
Focusing on the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, she shows how Arabic dance came to be influenced by Western ideas about art and entertainment. But the influence was two-way. In the heyday of "Orientalism," Arabic dance exerted a powerful influence on the Western imagination-on such writers as Flaubert, such artists as David Roberts and Jean-Leon Gerome, and such imitators as Colette and Mata Hari. Their fascination was often based on common fantasies about the women of the Middle East. Yet, as the book's sumptuous illustrations show, this obsession also produced wonderfully evocative images. At the turn of the century, the genre also had an impact on fashion, theater and popular entertainment.

For the Bellydance Afficionado.......2002-11-17
Lots of colour pictures ... past & present ...including old paintings, quotes & accounts of the people who actually watched belly dancing...& then tried to describe it!
For those just starting out to find out about Bellydancing & such enthusiasts,there are some pictures of famous older dancers, past & present .. Samya Gamal, Fifi Abdou & Sohair Zaki.
More like a collection of cameos than a real in-depth exploration of the Art Form, or Elucidation of the styles & Expression... but it IS a good coffee-table book & nice, informative read .
FOr the Pictures, if Nothing Else.......2002-07-04
I can't speak to the accuracy of Wendy Buonaventura's history of belly dancing, though I found no evidence of the most controversial complaint, that she fails to note the role of European Orientalists in fabricating our notions of Middle-Eastern dance. In fact, she discusses this very thing at length.
The treasure in the book is the collection of paintings. Where else can you see Dinet's gorgeous watercolors? I had never even heard of him. Are the pictures accurate? I suspect they are. Are they representative? Of course not. Like Gauguin in Tahiti, the Orientalists saw what they wanted to see.
Inspirational, but Flawed.......2001-07-26
Wendy Buonaventura obviously loves raks baladi ("country" or folkloric belly dance) with a passion. As sometimes happens with authors passionate about a subject, she unfortunately treats her opinions as facts upon occasion. As a dancer, I love the glorious Orientalist pictures, early 20th-century photos and fascinatingly slanted accounts from Western travellers, and I love her feelings for the dance. It's a beautiful book to peruse, and you can get some marvelous ideas for theatrical costuming from it. But like the Orientalists she reviews, Buonaventura presents an exotic and monolithic Middle East, where Egypt represents this entire diverse region and where nothing changes over time. She also perpetuates the popular myth that this is a *women's* dance, whereas in truth both sexes dance at private functions, and in both Egypt and Turkey, men historically performed as well. (Western tourists just weren't interested!) Read this for its lovely artwork and, if you're a dancer, for a feel-good spiritual connection with earlier dancers--but if you're interested in the subject of dance history, do some further research. And if you are involved in the Society for Creative Anachronism, PLEASE don't use this book for costume documentation. Egyptian clothing pre-1600 was very, very different.
great pictures but..........2000-08-29
The quality and quantity of pictures in this book is wonderful and there is also some good information but unfortunately all the information is not very accurate and there are even many things that are not true. As a book this is nice to watch but as this book has become "a bible of belly dance" when other more accurate documents have been hard to find I can't rate this higher because readers tend to believe everything that is written here.
Or, Belly Dancing for Dummies! A Good Resource and Accessory.......2000-07-26
"Serpent of the Nile" is a wonderful book for anyone with an interest in Middle Eastern Dance, which is currently gaining tremendous popularity in the West. The author traces the art of 'Beladi,' what we now refer to as 'belly-dancing' from its origin to how it has changed over time. There is a lot of very interesting information in here, written concisely and accessibly, even for those of us who are not overly concerned with history; such as the need for male dancers to entertain the public when women were forbidden to do so, how the patriarchal nature of Arabic society affected Beladi, and how the Westerners exoticised and perhaps even corrupted the original form of dance. But the beauty of this book lies in its stunning pictures, a treat for the eyes! Photographs of sculptures, paintings and engravings of dancers and musicians fill the pages and make it an ideal coffee table book. A wonderful resource.
Book Description
The debut novel by twenty-eight-year-old Arab-Israeli Sayed Kashua has been praised around the world for its honesty, irony, humor, and its uniquely human portrayal of a young man who moves between two societies, becoming a stranger to both. Kashua's nameless antihero has big shoes to fill, having grown up with the myth of a grandfather who died fighting the Zionists in 1948, and with a father who was jailed for blowing up a school cafeteria in the name of freedom. When he is granted a scholarship to an elite Jewish boarding school, his family rejoices, dreaming that he will grow up to be the first Arab to build an atom bomb. But to their dismay, he turns out to be a coward devoid of any national pride; his only ambition is to fit in with his Jewish peers who reject him. He changes his clothes, his accent, his eating habits, and becomes an expert at faking identities, sliding between different cultures, schools and languages, and eventually a Jewish lover and an Arab wife. With refreshing candor and self-deprecating wit, Dancing Arabs brilliantly maps one man's struggle to disentangle his personal and national identities, only to tragically and inevitably forfeit both.

A compelling read!.......2004-09-28
A young boy, growing up in the Arab village of Tira in Israel's Galilee region, describes life within his family and how it feels to be an Arab living in the overwhelmingly Jewish country of Israel. He gains entrance to a Jewish boarding school and finds it difficult to fit in.
I was afraid to begin this story because I didn't want to read a book filled with Arab hatred for Jews. My hope in choosing this book was to get beyond the tragedy of the current political and socioeconomic situation in Israel and truly see an Arab as he lives in Israel. I was soon captured by this young boy's story. It was so interesting and full of such vivid detail that I felt as if I were reading an autobiography rather than a novel, much in the same vein as I felt reading Khaled Hosseini's The Kite Runner.
The story is sad because it reveals grimmer aspects of Arab-Jewish relations, but it also offers a glimmer of hope (much in the way that the Seeds of Peace did), that an important way to peace is through being open to learn about someone different. The words of this novel are simple, but the emotions behind the narrative are far more complex. In conveying those feelings to his readers, the author does a stunning job. The plight and confusion of a man caught between two cultures is so clearly shown.
In a way, it is a depressing story. Nonetheless, I appreciate the fact that the author has provided this insight into the Israeli-Arab culture for the wider world to share. It shows just how difficult it is for an Arab to find a place as a valued member of the country in which the majority of the population is Jewish, and, once he finds a way to co-exist comfortably among Jews, how he finds that he has alienated himself from his own culture.
He's just as much human as I am.......2004-09-09
Not knowing much about the Arab war, I felt a bit lost in between the spotty chapters, which could easily be read as diary entries of an Arab voice, a boy coming of age at a time of uncertainty. The structure of the book adds to the personality, development and characterization of storyteller... brief, honest, private, and vulnerable. Some of the words were left in the original language, giving the story a taste of authenticy, but also leaving me, the reader, hanging, knowing that i am missing the entire meaning of the word, sentence, feeling. The person we come to know is one who lives in constant confusion, through distorted memories, and also complacency. He seems to live life on the other side of a window, never fully grasping onto opportunities and allowing quality to slip away. He seems to watch his life move along each day without taking ownership of his life. The book comes to an end without satisfying the reader w/ any glimpse of hope; instead, the storyteller never overcomes his fears and does nothing proactively to change himself for the better. Though I personally felt unfulfilled and somewhat disappointed in the main dude, I was reminded that I know people just like him in my culture, my society, my community. His challenges and fears are just as prevalent as in my life... but he does not take action. I guess in the end, he is just as much human as I am.
Interesting View of Israel.......2004-09-08
I found this book extremely well-written and a good examination of the clash of cultures that occurs for young people growing up in the Palestinian areas of Israel. The book examines the life of an anonymous boy/man throughout his life in short sketches describing events that occur to him. The only problem I had with the book is the main character eventually degenerates into a whiny, unmotivated blob that wishes for great things but never takes the initiative to make them happen. Overall, I would recommend this book.
Funny and sad portrayal of Arab life in Israel.......2004-06-04
I really enjoyed this quick read. Engrossing honest depiction of life for Arabs in Israel- not what you would expect.

Best Narrative into many artforms of Egyptian, Middle Eastern, and Gulf Dance: Must have for any serious dancer.......2006-06-25
The writer took a carefull approach into describing the history and culture of the dance origin, then continued into describing the dance - the meaning of the dance, the musical meaning of the dance, the costume of the dance, and the performance of the dance. This led into much enlightened knowlegde being sought by serious studenst. She started out with bellydance being brought to the US, and many myth busters. She covered Egyptian Cabaret and Saiidi, with a comparision of male vs female Saiidi dance. Then trance dance or religious dance, Guedra and Zar. There is a chapter on Lebanese Debke. I wish there was one on Turkish and Lebanese Bellydance. She does cover the Gulf States with Khaleegy and another battle dance in Dubai thought to have been brought to Dubai from Egyptian Traders. There is a controverial chapter on mail belly dance. Then a comparision of an American show vs an Egyptian Show. This book is so packed with knowlegde that I have found to be more than likely accurate with my research. IT IS A MUST HAVE. I COULD NOT POSSIBLY DESCRIBE IT ALL HER. IT IS FULL OF WELL RESEARCHED KNOWLEDGE. Not alot of pics though. Even goes over a full Tunora Routine.

Concise layman's guide to Middle Eastern Dance.......2005-08-01
If you are interested in exploring literature on Middle Eastern Dance and have been stumped by the wide range currently on offer, this is an excellent introduction featuring major Middle Eastern dances. Easy to read with relevant information including historical development, it was a pity that it had so few photos.

Wot, Wot?! Could it be another epic Redwall tale (tail?) thick with high adventure, heavy accents, and leek-and-turnip pasty from the beloved beast master himself, Brian Jacques? It is indeed, happy readers. Triss, the 15th book in the distinguished and wildly popular animal fantasy series, chronicles the exploits of a brave squirrel maid who travels from the bonds of slavery to the meeting of her destiny as a warrior at Redwall Abbey. Triss the squirrel, Shogg the otter, and Welfo the hedgehog, all slaves to the bloodthirsty royal ferret family of Riftgard, filch a ferret boat and sail away from the murderous clutches of Princess Kurda and her malevolent father, King Agarnu. Swearing revenge, Kurda sets out to recapture her slaves, her evil Ratguard troops reinforced by the pirate fox Plugg Firetail and his band of criminal Freebooters. At the same time, the badger Sagaxus and his bosom friend Bescarum the hare also set sail from Salamanstrom, to seek adventure on the high seas. Meanwhile, back at the abbey, the Redwall inhabitants are being plagued by a mystery that involves a hidden door, a secret code, and three stinking, sinister snake siblings that are picking off the gentle forest folk one by one. Any ardent fan of Redwall knows that what comes next will include sword fights, feasting, raucous good humor, and a thrilling climax. Jacques's fervent followers are rewarded with the author's usual swashbuckling good storytelling, while the newly initiated will read with wide eyes, and quickly go back to hungrily devour the rest of the series.

A Beautiful Tale.......2007-03-29
I gave Triss five stars because I really enjoyed it. I loved the poems and songs, especially how they help the charactors of the story. I also enjoyed the fact that all of the charactors in the story were animals. I like how the dialogue really went along with characters,and every animal has its own accent and uses different choices of words. I really found the story very intersting. It had some adventure (which I liked) but mainly dialogue and description. One thing I found most amazing was that at the beginning of every chapter the author makes a beautiful description of the setting. I really enjoyed the story and I hope many people do too.
Flippin' great, wot!.......2007-03-29
Great stuff, wot! I really enjoy the way that Jacques uses dialogue and poetry in his stories. I can almost hear the medieval music playing in the background. Triss is an excellent protagonist. It's great to see a female hero for a change, especially one with such a driving desire to do justice and set wrongs to right. Sagyx, Scarum, the dibbuns, and even the "baddies" in this tale send me far away from the drudgery of everyday life. Keep up the great stuff Mr. Jacques, I'll gladly return to Mossflower Woods for as long as you can take me there! Redwall!!! Eulalia!! Logalog!!!
great series.......2006-10-18
Great series for young and old looking for a mental shut-down for bed book.
A great book, one of the the best!.......2006-10-12
This book started out a little slow but, the more you read the better it gets. It was a great book Wot Wot! It starts out in Riftgaurd, an evil fortress ruled by Ferrets. Triss (Trisscar), the squirrel, and two of her friends, are escape slaves. Princess Kurda
and Prince Bladd are determined to capture them.
In Redwall the dibbons (toddlers) are out of control when two escape into the woods! Find out what surprise is in store in Mossflower.
This book was exciting and fun, another great book by Brian Jacques. I recommend this book to you. (I suggest you read the first one before you read this) Don't forget the other Redwall books these are good books also!
Feels like a failed experiment: not bad, but not worth reading or memorable. Not recommended........2006-08-01
The fifteenth Redwall novel, Triss is the story of slaves, pirates, treasure, and riddles. Triss is an escaped slave from the north, hotly pursued by her captors and a Freebooter crew. Meanwhile, a young badger and a hare leave Salamadastron to begin an adventure on their own, and Redwallers discover clues leading them towards Brockhall, the badger home and safehouse from the days before Redwall. The three stories come together when Triss meets up with Sagax the badger and they are chased deep into Mossflower Wood. All of the usual aspects of the Redwall books are here--riddles, adventures, travel, battles, lots of food, as well as a variety of cultures and accents, yet in Triss they seem different: over-exaggerated in many places and unusual in others. Accents are almost comical, the emphasis on food is heavy-handed, and the riddles come in the form of a coded language. Furthermore, the diverse storylines in Triss remain independent almost all of the way through, and the text only feels united and complete in the last through chapters. Despite my love for the Redwall series, I wasn't impressed with this book. I found some characters annoying (a first for this series) and didn't find the plot very exciting. This was just a bad book for Jacques, and it's the first Redwall book I wouldn't recommend.
No doubt that the books in the Redwall series all operate in the same way: they all contain adventures, battles, cultures, accents, food, and riddles. Jacques makes each story unique, but those underlying aspects are almost always there. They are also present in Triss, but it feels like Jacques uses them in a different way in this text. Many of the aspects, food, accents, and riddles in particular, are exaggerated even to the point of being foolish or annoying. Others, the adventures in particular, are isolated from one another, split into too many concurrent plots that don't come together until the end. It seems to me that Jacques was trying to do soemthing new with this book: mix up old aspects, make something funny/more extreme, and approach the plot in a new way. I consider it a failed attempt. Triss doesn't read as smoothly as most Redwall books, and the food and accents actually make some of the characters annoying--something I've never seen before in the series.
That said, Triss isn't a bad book. Jacques is still a solid writer, and even while experimenting with new interpretations of his themes, he manages to write a good, exciting plot with a number of interesting and admirable characters (the warriors, and the protagonist specifically). The book still reads quickly, the sea travel in particular is well described, and journey towards Brockhall should excite longtime readers of the series who will remember it from Mossflower. I do wish that there had been more about Brockhall, however, beyond the final battle there, but I was happy to see it regardless.
Nonetheless, this is the first Redwall book that I wouldn't recommend. It's not a bad read, doesn't take much time, and is probably interesting to longtime Redwall readers. However, it's a poor example of a Redwall book and it feels like a failed experiment on Jacques' part. It's a book you can skip--nothing too important to the larger Redwall chronology occurs, the characters don't stand out, and you'll save yourself some aggravation by avoiding the annoying character that crop up. Unfortunate, but true. I don't recommend this book.

Not Worth It.......2003-11-09
A bit better than the first book of the series, but the writing is still bad, the characters are shallow and underdeveloped, and the dialogue is stilted and painful to read.
Definitely not worth the money.
A fun book to be enjoyed by anyone liking a good mystery.......1998-05-17
Archeologist Vera Contas leads her first dig, ironically fifty feet from Wall Street, at the site of a future office building. She is trying to prove whether Captain Kidd buried some of his infamous booty at this location over three hundred years ago. Vera invites her long time friend, reporter Kay Engles to attend and report on the dig. When her magazine editor gives Kay the okay, she heads to Wall Street to follow the story.
However, the intriguing story takes a twist when Kay's car is vandalized. Upset, Kay decides to revert back to her former days as an investigative reporter and do some digging, her style. Soon, a modern day corpse of a construction worker is found and the real estate developer is murdered. Even as Vera becomes the prime suspect, Kay continues to investigate what is really happening in the Financial District of Manhattan.
DIGGING UP DEATH takes the reader on a fun tour of the Big Apple through the eyes of Kay, a wonderful character. However, the two major story lines (modern day murder Vs a historical puzzle) never blend together, thereby leaving the novel with a schizoid feel to it. Both major plots are quite good in and of themselves, but the failure to decide which line rules leaves this tale stuck on a day "hotter than a match stick" at the Fulton Fish Market. For a better taste of Kay, try MURDER AT THE CLASS REUNION.

I enjoyed this book -- it reminded me of class reunions I have attended although no one was murdered at any of them. But there were all the classmates described that you would find at a class reunion. And I could put a name from my class to all of them. Good easy read.
Not Great.......2003-11-08
This had to be one of the most poorly written books I've ever read.
The dialogue was stilted and shallow. Characters wasted too much "breath" telling each other things they already knew and bragging about their evil deeds to give us a conclusion. The premise was good, but none of the characters were fleshed out, which made them unlikeable and silly.
Not worth spending money on.
