About this ebook:
Een persoonlijk verslag van tien jaar mensenrechtendiplomatieMeer dan tien jaar heeft de diplomate Petra Stienen zich beziggehouden met mensenrechten in het Midden-Oosten. Tijdens haar werk op de ambassades in Caïro en Damascus ontdekt ze dat mensenrechtendiplomatie niet zo eenvoudig is als de Haagse politiek en het Nederlandse publiek denken. In haar ontmoetingen met mensenrechtenactivisten, journalisten en kunstenaars vraagt de auteur zich af of een westerse diplomaat wel iets kan betekenen voor mensenrechten in landen als Egypte en Syrië. In Dromen van een Arabische lente laat Petra Stienen zien hoe zij als diplomate in de 21e eeuw wil werken. Door de hoofdstad te verlaten en het land in te gaan, vriendschappen te sluiten en de tijd te nemen, bedrijft ze diplomatie op de vierkante meter, waarbij ontmoetingen met mensen centraal staan. Tijdens haar diplomatieke zoektocht ervaren we met Petra Stienen hoe Egyptenaren en Syriërs uit alle lagen van de bevolking hun dromen hebben over democratie, vrijheid, de rol van de islam en over een leven voorbij de cultuur van de angst.Tussen 1995 en 2004 was de arabiste en diplomate Petra Stienen werkzaam op achtereenvolgens de Nederlandse ambassades in Egypte en Syrie. In dit vlot geschreven boek doet zij verslag van die periode, onder meer gekenmerkt door opkomend moslimfundamentalisme en dreiging van een oorlog rond Irak. Niet zozeer de 'grote politiek' - ontmoetingen met politieke gezagsdragers, verslagen van ambassaderecepties - staat centraal, maar juist de contacten met de 'gewone' mensen: vrouwen en mensenrechtenactivisten, taxichauffeurs en journalisten. Het boek biedt een openhartige en verhelderende sfeertekening van het leven in de Arabische wereld: de vaak achtergestelde positie van de vrouw, maar ook de veranderingen ten goede; de dagelijkse strijd om een menswaardig bestaan onder onderdrukkende regimes; het streven naar meer vrijheden voor de bevolking (de 'Arabische lente'). Een fraai en noodzakelijk tegenwicht tegen de vaak generaliserende beeldvorming over 'de' moslims in de Arabische wereld. Met een lijst van geraadpleegde literatuur en websites.(bol.com)

I find myself somewhat conflicted. The prose was competent, yet the characters lacked the depth I usually seek. A fair 3 stars.

Such a rich narrative. It strikes a perfect harmony of dialogue and world-building. Every chapter felt necessary. A true literary gem.
