[Vision2020] KRFP 90.3 FM Discussion with Professor Makdisi on the History of the Middle East Re: Palestinian/Israel Issues

[Ted Moffett]

This morning while half asleep I heard a discussion on KRFP 90.3 FM on the
history of the MIddle East relating to the Palestinian/Israel issues that I
do not need to point out are of fantastic significance at this time.   On
this subject I am woefully uninformed, but learning more from credible
(hopefully) sources.

Despite being barely conscious (Ha...) I managed to grab a pen and jot down
the name of the scholar who was lecturing with apparent voluminous
knowledge on this history.  I misspelled the name terribly, but somehow
remembered the title of one of the books discussed (*Age of Coexistence:
The Ecumenical Frame and the Making of the Modern Arab World)* thus this
source below I am nearly (?) certain references the scholar in question:

Excerpt below from website above:

Professor Makdisi’s most recent book *Age of Coexistence: The Ecumenical
Frame and the Making of the Modern Arab World* was published in 2019 by the
University of California Press. He is also the author of *Faith Misplaced:
the Broken Promise of U.S.-Arab Relations, 1820-2001* (Public Affairs,
2010).  His previous books include *Artillery of Heaven: American
Missionaries and the Failed Conversion of the Middle East* (Cornell
University Press, 2008), which was the winner of the 2008 Albert Hourani
Book Award from the Middle East Studies Association, the 2009 John Hope
Franklin Prize of the American Studies Association, and a co-winner of the
2009 British-Kuwait Friendship Society Book Prize given by the British
Society for Middle Eastern Studies.
