It sounds like an interesting book and we get a little insight into the BBC.
But how do the region's armies of under-30 video-lovers and haters square up? In early 2005 Allegra Stratton, a young BBC producer, set off on a tour of Beirut, Amman, Cairo, Dubai, Kuwait City and Damascus with the aim of finding out.
And she went with an open mind.
Her findings are less romantic than she had hoped - there are no flower children in Damascus, and Amman's only nude portraitist is, she disappointedly remarks, 'crap'. The verdict is characteristic of Muhajababes, which is written in a jaunty conversational tone that allows Stratton to feel 'rubbish' about 'shit' things, such as the invasion of Iraq or badly produced Arabic music.
Un huh.
