Scholars Unravel Middle East

A message for Middle Eastern Americans: Don't let U.S. news media or Hollywood tell your story. And don't follow people who read a few books and suddenly become experts. In this program, I bring you the sources of Middle East analysis and history - 177 scholars (and counting) who distill their decades of research into an hour conversation with me to unravel the misperceptions that divide East and West and to clarify our common misconceptions about the Middle East - from its ancient empires to modern nations.

I am Adel Aali, you host (former attorney & startup entrepreneur). My passion is to understand history's trends and transformations, which is deeper appreciation than trivial facts and chronicles. So I ask questions from scholars who've spent their lives investigating the very answers I seek.

This program is a production of History Behind News podcast (now in its 4th season). Subscribe here: https://www.youtube.com/@ScholarsUnravelMiddleEast?sub_confirmation=1
