Produktbeschreibung
Known to many as American University's "peace legend," Abdul Aziz Said (1930-2021)
led an academic career spanning nearly sixty years. Always a forward-looking thinker,
Said consistently sought to be among the first to grapple with the leading-edge issues of
his day, from decolonization and turbulent social change in developing countries to the
influence of multinational corporations, the normative priority of human rights, culturalaspects of conflict resolution, and the promotion of Islamic-Western understanding.
Taken together, his extensive writings, innovative pedagogy, and practical pursuits offer
a model for engaged scholarship, characterized by dynamic use of the platform provided
by a university career to advance international peace, intercultural dialogue, and social
justice as well as a spiritual ethic emphasizing unity and connectedness among people
from diverse cultural, religious, and racial backgrounds.

studies;
. Born in Syria, he completed his higher education in the United States and went
on to teach multiple generations of international affairs students;

the twenty-first century.Autorinnen und Autoren
