This collection of research papers in Arabic, English, and French, was written by nineteen Arab and non-Arab researchers and intellectuals in honor of a pillar of contemporary Arab thought, the historian and educator Dr. Constantine K. Zurayk, in recognition of his rich and distinguished contributions in both the national and the academic arenas. Dr. Zurayk was a founding member of the IPS, president of the board of trustees from 1963-1984, and the honorary president of the board of trustees from 1985-2000. Some of the studies address the intellectual output of Dr. Zurayk, in both research and analysis, while others consider various aspects of the Palestinian cause and history.
