Excellent analysis for non-Jewish readers
The Jewish Mind studiously develops the unique understanding of Jewish thought from the perspective of Patai. Excellent analysis for non-Jewish readers.

Jewish Good Arab Bad
This book contrasts sharply with his Arab Mind. Reading the two together, one can see clearly Mr. Patai's bigotry and hate of Arabs. For a professor who is said to have held high positions at prestigious US universities, I found his stereotypical writings quite scandalous. However, when I balanced this with the fact that his is the son of a well known Hungarian Zionist, I came to realize that his agenda could easily be understood (the vast majority of people hostile to Arabs are Jews). Added to this, his work is highly descriptive and speculative - reinforces the view that Anthropology is not really a science.
