The press blurb:
/Staging Cultural Encounters/tells stories about performances of 
cultural encounter and cultural exchange during the US tour of the 
Algerian theater troupe Istijmam Culturelle in 2016. Jane E. Goodman 
follows the Algerian theater troupe as they prepare for and then tour 
the U.S. under the auspices of the Center Stage program, sponsored by 
the US State Department to promote cross-cultural dialogue and 
understanding.

The title of the play Istijmam produced was translated as "Apples," 
written by Abdelkader Alloula, a renowned Algerian playwright, director, 
and actor who was assassinated in 1994. Goodman take readers on tour 
with the actors as they move from the Kennedy Center in Washington, 
D.C. to the large state universities of New Hampshire and Indiana, and 
from a tiny community theater in small-town New England to the stage of 
the avant-garde La MaMa Theater in New York City.

/Staging Cultural Encounters/takes up conundrums of cross-cultural 
encounter, challenges in translation, and audience reception, offering a 
frank account of the encounters with American audiences and the 
successes and disappointments of the experience of exchange.
