Dubai Is My Home - Hardcover

by Marie-Jeanne Acquaviva (Author), Olivia Froudkine (Author)

An snapshot introduction to Dubai through it's people and community.

Dubai is one of the most globally-recognized cities in the world but few truly know the people that inhabit it and from whom the city draws its social vitality, cultural vibrancy and spirit of innovation.

Dubai Is My Home is a fascinating exploration of the diverse spectrum of foreign and local residents of Dubai. Through intimate personal stories and engaging photography, you will meet the people that make the city tick and who comprise its multicultural patchwork.

From the Palestinian-Colombian deputy director of an independent cinema to a European falconer to a local Emirati dedicated to preserving the country's natural environment, the book demonstrates that Dubai residents do not fit one mold but form a microcosm of the global community. This collection of voices and faces is an insight into what makes Dubai a functioning melting pot, where concepts of diversity, collaboration and harmony are not artificially enforced but lived.

For a global audience all-too-accustomed to clich?s and superficial stereotypes about the city, Dubai Is My Home introduces readers the soul of the city, highlighting the deep social connections that make it one of the most livable and alluring cities in the world.
