Prior to Dr. Hadi’s efforts, there seems to have been just one other list of AUC publications, compiled by I. Moyer Hunsberger during academic year 1982-83. The current list continues to follow the format established by Dr. Hadi in all essential points. The 2012 list is significantly longer than the one for 2011 due to a combination increased faculty productivity and improved reporting, trends that we hope wil continue in the years to come. This is my third and final time as editor of the Faculty Publications List, a time- consuming but rewarding task. I could not have succeeded without the long- term assistance of Tamer Marzouk and Nancy Wadie, whom I now thank in public for their years of quiet efforts behind the scenes. For this year’s list, the same holds true for Dalia Sawy.

  • Wanting, Not Waiting
    WINNERSdateline OF THE OVERSEAS PRESS CLUB AWARDS 2011 Wanting, Not Waiting 2012 Another Year of Uprisings SPECIAL EDITION dateline 2012 1 letter from the president ne year ago, at our last OPC Awards gala, paying tribute to two of our most courageous fallen heroes, I hardly imagined that I would be standing in the same position again with the identical burden. While last year, we faced the sad task of recognizing the lives and careers of two Oincomparable photographers, Tim Hetherington and Chris Hondros, this year our attention turns to two writers — The New York Times’ Anthony Shadid and Marie Colvin of The Sunday Times of London. While our focus then was on the horrors of Gadhafi’s Libya, it is now the Syria of Bashar al- Assad. All four of these giants of our profession gave their lives in the service of an ideal and a mission that we consider so vital to our way of life — a full, complete and objective understanding of a world that is so all too often contemptuous or ignorant of these values. Theirs are the same talents and accomplishments to which we pay tribute in each of our awards tonight — and that the Overseas Press Club represents every day throughout the year. For our mission, like theirs, does not stop as we file from this room. The OPC has moved resolutely into the digital age but our winners and their skills remain grounded in the most fundamental tenets expressed through words and pictures — unwavering objectivity, unceasing curiosity, vivid story- telling, thought-provoking commentary.

  • The Israel/Palestine Question
    THE ISRAEL/PALESTINE QUESTION The Israel/Palestine Question assimilates diverse interpretations of the origins of the Middle East conflict with emphasis on the fight for Palestine and its religious and political roots. Drawing largely on scholarly debates in Israel during the last two decades, which have become known as ‘historical revisionism’, the collection presents the most recent developments in the historiography of the Arab-Israeli conflict and a critical reassessment of Israel’s past. The volume commences with an overview of Palestinian history and the origins of modern Palestine, and includes essays on the early Zionist settlement, Mandatory Palestine, the 1948 war, international influences on the conflict and the Intifada. Ilan Pappé is Professor at Haifa University, Israel. His previous books include Britain and the Arab-Israeli Conflict (1988), The Making of the Arab-Israeli Conflict, 1947–51 (1994) and A History of Modern Palestine and Israel (forthcoming). Rewriting Histories focuses on historical themes where standard conclusions are facing a major challenge. Each book presents 8 to 10 papers (edited and annotated where necessary) at the forefront of current research and interpretation, offering students an accessible way to engage with contemporary debates. Series editor Jack R.Censer is Professor of History at George Mason University.

Chair Date Dean of HUSS Date DEDICATION I would like to dedicate this thesis to my Cousin Basant Monier who passed away in July 2011 in a car accident. Since January the 28 th , Basant was a brave Tahrir companion who fought so dedicatedly for her freedom. We celebrated a great victory on February the 11 th at Tahrir. May her soul rest in peace with the other martyrs of the Revolution. ii Acknowledgments It would not have been possible to write this thesis without the support of a great many people that I want to thank here. Firstly, I want to thank Dr. Hanan Sabea, who with her dedicated and rebellious personality was always an inspiration.
