The Cold War in the Middle East, the "War on Terror" and the New Administration, Lecture, Pt.2 of 2

Rashid Khalidi, Edward Said Professor of Arab Studies at Columbia University, lectured on The Cold War in the Middle East, the 'War on Terror' and the New Administration.

Rashid Khalidi's research and teaching encompassthe history of the modern Middle East, and in particular the countries of the southern and eastern Mediterranean, with an emphasis on the emergenceof national identity, and the involvement of external powers in the region. He is particularly interested in the role of the press in the formation of new publics and new senses of community, in the place of education inthe construction of identity, and in the way narratives of self and other have interacted over the past two centuries in this conflicted region.
