  • The Study of Middle Eastern History in the United States"
    The Jerusalem Quarterly Number 46, Spring 1988; pp. 49-64 "The Study of Middle Eastern History in the United States" By Kenneth W. Stein Introduction Half a year after I married a girl from New Orleans, I thought I would try to find a job in that quiet city. One Friday afternoon in December, 1969, I approached a member of the History Department in one of its universities. I inquired, "Do you have someone who teaches Middle Eastern history, and if not, would you be interested in hiring a Middle Eastern historian?" The reply came back like a shot. "We have a specialist in the Middle East, Mr. Williams. He has been here for more than a decade." I looked perplexed and answered, "But I checked in the card catalogue, searched the library shelves, and found very little on the Middle East." As I turned to leave the office, I was curious and asked to know Mr. Williams' Middle Eastern area of concentration. The History Department professor put his hand on my shoulder and said in an avuncular tone, "Mr. Williams did his work and has published numerous articles on Tennessee in the 1840s!" *[Kenneth W. Stein is Associate Professor of Middle Eastern History and Political Science at Emory University, Middle East Fellow and Director of Middle Eastern Programs at the Carter Center.] My deepest appreciation is extended to Ms. Cindy Tidwell of Emory University, a Woodruff Scholar who assisted me in assembling the material and statistics for this paper. Her advice and diligence were instrumental in completing this study.

  • Teaching Media and Culture of the Middle East to American Students
    8 Muhtaseb, et al.. Teaching Media and Culture of the Middle East to American Students Ahlam Muhtaseb, Ph.D., Department of Communication Studies Ece Algan, Ph.D., Department of Communication Studies Anne Bennett, Ph.D., Department of Anthropology California State University San Bernardino Americans know very little about the Middle East in general despite the fact that the region is at the heart of American foreign policy. While no one doubts the importance of teaching the history, culture, and politics of the Middle East in the United States, lack of basic knowledge coupled with the strong antipathy toward Arabs and Muslims make classroom teaching about the region quite challenging. Given that the current Islamopho- bic discourse in mainstream media and imperialistic American foreign policy misinform students about who Middle Easterners are, the so-called “war on terror” causes educators to be uneasy about discussing the Middle East in their classrooms. A strong pro-Israel lobby and other pressure groups make it even more difficult to have an independent intellectual discussion of the Middle East because of intimidation and anti-Semitism accusations that follow discussions of the Palestinian plight or the issue of the Palestinian refugees. Ismael (2011) adds that the whole academic discipline of Middle Eastern Stud- ies is usually under both scrutiny and attack by both conservative politicians and govern- ment officials in addition to lobbyists. He states, In ideological terms, the field of Middle East Studies has been labeled a failure as an academic project, accused of being “infused with third-worldist biases”; and its preeminent organization, the Middle East Studies Association (MESA), has been branded as inordinately Arab in its composition and ideological/ intellectual “character.” Chiefly, it has been argued that the field of Middle East Studies and its scholars have “ill-served” America (e.g.

  • Arab-American and Muslim-American Studies in Secondary Social Studies Curriculum
    AWEJ Volume.5 Number.3, 2014 Pp.45-64 Arab-American and Muslim-American Studies in Secondary Social Studies Curriculum Monica M. Eraqi Dakota High School, Michigan United States Abstract Arabs and Muslims live within the United States surrounded by misconceptions about their culture and religion, both of which seemed foreign to most Americans. Arabs, like many immigrant groups who came to the United States, were not exempt from racist accusations. They were viewed as a backward, violent, desert-dwelling people. The media and Hollywood did their part to ensure that Arabs and Muslims on the big screen perpetuated these misconceptions through their movies, cartoons, and TV characters. After the attacks on 9/11, many Americans realized, for the first time, how little they understood Arabs and Muslims. This led many to raise questions about curricular needs concerning Arabs, Muslims, and the Middle East, as well as Arab and Muslim Americans living within U.S. borders. This article discusses the mixed methods study, which consisted of 101 surveys of secondary social studies teachers from across the U.S. and contextual analysis of five U.S. history textbooks. Keywords: Arab-Americas, Muslim-Americans, stereotypes, education, social studies curriculum, multicultural education Arab World English Journal www.awej.org 45 ISSN: 2229-9327 AWEJ Volume.5 Number.3, 2014 Arab -American and Muslim-American Studies in Secondary Eraqi Eraqi Introduction The need for Arab and Muslim-American studies was never more real than after the attacks on September 11, 2001 when millions of Americans realized for the first time how little they knew of the Middle East, Arabs, and Muslims.
