Publisher Note
Julia Gerlach and Bärbel Möllmann asked young people from the Arab world for their opinion of the West.
Julia Gerlach:
“Almost all of our interview partners were asked the same question: What do you mean by "the West"? We intentionally formulated a very open question. "The West" is a term that evokes associations for everyone. For some it is a political system, others think first of the war in Iraq, and yet for others it is the greasy smell of MacDonald's.
We left it to our respondents to decide if they wanted to define the West politically, culturally, or geographically. "If we assume that we here in the Arab world are the center, then with 'the West' I mean everything that lies northwest of here!", said one of the interviewees, for example. The world map looks quite different from a Dubai perspective.”
