Reviews
In her lovely and lyrical book Al-Rawi explains how the ancient Eastern art of belly dancing is both source and symbol of women's identity and strength in the Arab world, and how she gained this knowledge from her grandmother. Part memoir, part dance history and part instruction guide...Al-Rawi offers women of all ages a window into another culture and into themselves. Her earthy wisdom may remind readers of such fictional works as Amy Tan's The Joy Luck Club and Anita Diament's The Red Tent.

Synopsis
Al-Rawi has written a strikingly graceful and original book that blends p personal memoir with the history and theory of the dance known in the West as belly dancing. She conveys in this book not only the history and technique of grieving and mourning dances, pregnancy and birth dances, but the spirit of these age-old rituals, and their possibilities for healing and empowering women today.

    Book arrived well-packaged and in fine condition. But a comment is in order about the tracking. Piss-poor! Labeled 'UPS', but delivered by USPS. The tracking says it's still on the way despite being delivered yesterday. Several "Delivery dates" were posted on their site, which came and went. The 'Contact information' said that calling them would yield nothing more than their site offered, which was nothing. So, pleased by the product and packaging, my only complaint being of the tracking.
