Among the provocative social phenomena of our time, few have caught the public fancy as profoundly as that quintessentially American species known as Bubba. The conventional notion of Bubba is a Southern redneck who thinks a rented movie and a six-pack are quality entertainment. According to Dan Jenkins, this historical view has been advanced largely by "effete Easterners and West Coast ponytails who claim to like trout pizza and fat novels written by some kind of Ecuadorian". Granted, says Jenkins, there is more than one Bubba from Georgia who has spray-painted his girl's name on an overpass. But there is also more than one Bubba from Chicago who will do his Christmas shopping at Graceland. Bubba, Jenkins concludes, is a state of mind, and he proceeds to let Bubba define himself by speaking on topics ranging from beer to ballet, from haircuts to the homeless..

Fouad Ajami, one of the world¹s foremost authorities on Middle Eastern

politics and the recipient of the 2006 Bradley Prize for Outstanding

Achievement and the National Humanities Medal of 2006, offers a brilliant,

illuminating, and lyrical portrait of the ongoing struggle for Iraq and of

the American encounter with that volatile Arab land. In a new introduction,

the author discusses the many major events that have taken place since the

publication of the hardcover, including the implications of Saddam¹s

execution, the Baker-Hamilton Commission, and the return to Iraq of General

David Petraeus. He renders unsparingly the growing American disillusionment

with the war and the struggle within Iraq between those keen to hold on to

the promise of the new country called up by America¹s war and others

determined to thwart that promise and overwhelm it with sectarian strife.

Ajami situates the current unrest within the context of Iraq¹s recent

history of dictatorship and its rich, diverse cultural heritage. He applies

his incisive political commentary, his broad and deep historical view, his

mastery of the Arabic language and Arabic sources, and his lustrous prose to

every aspect of his subject, wresting a coherent, fascinating, and textured

picture from the media storm of fragmented information. The Foreigner¹s

Gift is the book we all need to read in order to understand what is

happening in Iraq today and what the future might hold for all of us.
