Rashid Khalidi is the author of seven books about the Middle East, including Palestinian Identity, Brokers of Deceit, Resurrecting Empire, The Iron Cage, and Sowing Crisis. His writing on Middle Eastern history and politics has appeared in the New York Times, Boston Globe, Los Angeles Times, Chicago Tribune, and many journals. For his work on the Middle East, Professor Khalidi has received fellowships and grants from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, the Ford Foundation, the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, the American Research Center in Egypt, and the Rockefeller Foundation, among others. He is the Edward Said Professor of Modern Arab Studies at Columbia University in New York and is editor of the Journal of Palestine Studies.
Khalidi has produced an extremely valuable analysis of how and why
the PLO made the decisions it did during that fateful summer of
1982. . .His generally objective, lucid and incisive account of PLO
decision-making fills a critical void in the literature about the
Israeli invasion.--Thomas Friedman, author of From Beirut to
Jerusalem and Longitudes and Latitudes
Praise for Palestinian Identity:
Winner of the 1997 Albert Hourani Book Award
"A pathbreaking work of major importance. . . [Khalidi
demonstrates] a complete mastery of the relevant literature in
Arabic, Hebrew and Western sources."--Edward Said, author of
Orientalism
Praise for Resurrecting Empire:
"Rashid Khalidi's extraordinary book is enormously relevant for our
times, especially in light of America's growing involvement in the
Middle East. Khalidi brings first hand knowledge and an extensive
historical background to a topic where such insight is needed more
than ever."--Joseph Stiglitz, winner of the Nobel Prize, author of
The Roaring Nineties
"If you are wondering why the United States is up to its ears in
alligators in Iraq and is widely hated in the Arab world, read this
impressive book. Unlike most so-called Middle East experts, Khalidi
actually knows a great deal about the that region, which allows him
to make a sophisticated and persuasive case that the Bush
Administration's plan to re-make the Middle East at the end of a
rifle barrel is delusional."--John J. Mearsheimer, R. Wendell

the University of Chicago
