appeal to Western audiences can be a good way of addressing the influence of Western citizens
and governments in Middle East politics. English-language newspapers in the Arab world often
differ from their Arabic-language counterparts in important ways; they often enjoy more freedom
and experience less censorship than Arabic-language papers, and in some (but not all) cases
these newspapers’ news sections also adhere to higher standards of evidence than Arabic-
language counterparts. While reading English-language newspapers and websites from the
Middle East, then, brings up representational issues of its own, I have found it to be a good way
to expose students “firsthand” to the ideas and arguments of Middle Eastern activists and
citizens.
