Editorial Review:

In the Land of the Ayatollahs Tupac Shakur Is King: Reflections from Iran and the Arab World Reviews:
A good starter for studies in Islamic culture, gepolitics, and postcolonialism
2008-11-26 - This book is by no means an exhaustive study and critique of dominant trends in the areas mentioned above. All the author does is kind of touch on each one of them: summarizing each theory and giving a brief list of pros and cons. But for those just curious in the main issues that drive the Middle Eastern realities, the book is absolutely recommended. Some of his critiques, such as his explanation of his opposition to the Satanic Verses or his explanantion of the nuances of Arab/Muslim opposition to the existence of Israel are top notch. He makes these observations in a background of a travelogue, so it makes his academic theories all the more interesting and exciting. Highly recommended for novices like me who have no clue and want to start in the shallow end.

Great start!
2008-01-15 - This was a great start on a comparative study of the West vs. the East. The fact that both worlds are interlinked in some way. I liked how the author walked the readers through his journey and painted such a detailed picture. Look forward to more journeys in the future.
