商品簡介
The Bro Code of Saudi Culture sets out a series of rules meant as guideline to live by and behave properly among Saudis and/or to understand Saudi culture. Most of these rules have long been unwritten and only verbally communicated among Saudis. As a result, visitors to Saudi Arabia have been unable to follow these rules appropriately, and those interested in Saudi civilisation or in Saudis have reported not understanding or recognising these rules. For such reasons, these rules need to be spelled out in bold print. Accordingly, this publication has been written to respond to this need, as well as to inform a broad audience on the nature of gender roles and gender relations in this country. Every culture is governed by an internal code of conduct, and the current work offers the first written code of Saudi society. It is the product of more than 2,000 interviews with Saudi male and female nationals and residents and close observations of daily activities over the past four years. This code puts on show 300 (often previously unrecorded) rules on how the human body should act inside Saudi Arabia. It covers everything from top to bottom; the face, eyes, ears, mouth, hair, stomach, extremities and genitals. These rules must be carefully considered if one wishes to stay within the circle of Saudis.
