This issue of Al-Raida deals with the “Other” from a triply detached perspective. Writing about ethnic and linguistic minorities, immigrants and “guest workers” in the Middle East and North Africa challenges the researcher and author to see the Arab world as more than merely the object of Western expropriation and Orientalist misinterpretation. The peoples of our region have well demonstrated their ability to be both the victim and the victimizer, oft times simultaneously.
