Not My Experience
15. Februar 2004
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I read Culture Shock before traveling to Dubai and found almost everything described in the book either incorrect or outdated. Granted, I never traveled outside of urban areas and mostly dealt with business people in the Emirates but found everyone I met with to be genuine and warm.
In my opinion the UAE is a unique place in the world, and not only looks to the future on a grand scale but has the funding and vision to make it happen.
I agree that one should be sensitive to cultural differences, but not to the degree of that the author indicates.

Shocked!
22. April 2011
Format:Taschenbuch
I recommend you do not waste time or money on this book.
Crocetti's book is filled with stereotypes and false information. After living in the Middle East for 21 years, many of those in the United Arab Emirates, I am shocked by the information Crocetti has collected. She is unqualified in writing such a book, and I hope that none will take the information seriously as it is mostly inaccurate. Crocetti labels non-Emirates as "Westerners," not recognizing the similarities the two cultures share. They are not clashing, but different.
As a person who has lived in the region and has many friends there, I find Crocetti's implied notion that Emirates are unlike "Westerners" very misleading. Emirati society is divided and different, as all societies. Her constant generalizations such as all Emiraties are wealthy and women always prioritize beauty are just appalling.
I am shocked that Crocetti's work has been taken seriously. Any person who has lived in the United Arab Emirates should know that her book is filled with false information. (To list them all, I'd have to quote the majority of the book.)
Finally, this book is out-of-date as the United Arab Emirates has changed immensely, including in cultural norms.

Clear view of life for an expatriate in the Emirates
24. Juli 2001
Format:Taschenbuch
I particularly liked the chapter on Culture Shock. The stages of shock as described by Ms. Crocetti are worth reading no matter what country you visit. The Emirates are a bit unusual in that they are a conglomeration of many cultures with a distinct minority as the dominant one. Ms. Crocetti clearly grasps the 'things are not as they seem' society and gives sound advice for coping.
