Imperfect Strangers
In Imperfect Strangers , Salim Yaqub argues that the 1970s were a pivotal decade for U.S.-Arab relations, whether at the upper levels of diplomacy, in street-level interactions, or in the realm of the imagination. In those years, Americans and Arabs came to know each other as never before. With Western Europe's imperial legacy fading in the Middle East, American commerce and investment spread throughout the Arab world. The United States strengthe…
Yemeni Thicket
Year in and year out, the Yemeni crisis grinds on. Victorious rebels, precariously perched on the seat of government and drawing sustenance from a defiantly disruptive regional power, struggle vainly to subdue a fractious polity. Ousted government forces, chagrined by their defeat, enlist the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in their bid for restoration. The United Nations labors futilely to end the fighting, its efforts undone by the obstreperousness of …
Our Declaration Of Independence”
This article examines the evolution of African-American commentary and activism on the Arab-Israeli conflict from 1967 to 1979. It focuses in particular on the crystallization of a moderate black position that, while continuing to support the existence of a Jewish state in Palestine, increasingly questioned the pro-Israel orientation of US foreign policy. The article argues that the emergence of this perspective reflected a transformation in the …

This chapter a…
The Greater West Asia Co-Asperity Sphere
In an essay published shortly after the attacks of September 11, 2001, the Middle East analyst Fred Halliday wrote of a “new integrated West Asian crisis.” Over the preceding decade, he argued, formerly distinct conflicts in Palestine, Lebanon, the Persian Gulf region, Afghanistan, and Kashmir had become increasingly linked to one another. This integration had occurred both on the rhetorical level, as the protagonists of each West Asian conflict …
Tie a Yellow Ribbon
On November 4, 1979, as tens of thousands of Iranian demonstrators filed past the U.S. embassy in Tehran, a smaller group of radical students broke through the embassy gates, overpowered Marine guards, and took scores of American embassy employees captive. The students were angered and alarmed by President Jimmy Carter's decision to allow Muhammad Reza Shah Pahlavi, Iran's exiled monarch, to enter the United States to receive medical treatment, a…
Missed Opportunities
Containing Arab Nationalism
Under the Eisenhower Doctrine, the United States pledged to give increased economic and military aid to receptive Middle Eastern countries and to protect - with US armed forces if necessary - the territorial integrity and political independence of these nations from the threat of international communism. Salim Yaqub demonstrates that although the United States officially aimed to protect the Middle East from Soviet encroachment, the Eisenhower Do…
