"Loss and nostalgia in the Middle East: A foreign correspondent's reflections on conflict and change in the region" by Anthony Shadid, Washington Post Middle East Correspondent, award-winning author, and 2007-08 "Writer-in-Residence Fellow" at IFI-AUB.
Anthony Shadid is the first "Writer- in-residence" fellow at AUB-IFI for the Academic Year 2007-08. Shadid has had a distinguished career with the Washington Post, the Boston Globe and the Associated Press, serving in Washington, Cairo, Los Angeles, Baghdad, and Beirut. He won the 2004 Pulitzer Prize for his international reporting that year, primarily from Iraq. His recent book, "Night Draws Near: Iraq's People in the Shadow of America's War", has also been widely acclaimed. Shadid took a year off from his duties as Beirut-based Middle East correspondent for the Washington Post newspaper, and used his stay at AUB to research and write a book on his family's migration from Lebanon to Oklahoma. An American of Lebanese descent, he is a native of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, USA, and a graduate of the University of Wisconsin and Columbia University.
