DESCRIPTION:Dr. Ussama Makdisi, Professor of History and Chancellor’s Chair at UC 
 Berkeley\nwill speak on: "Genocide Livestreamed: Gaza 2023 and How We Got 
 to This Point"\n\nProfessor Makdisi grew up in Lebanon during the period of 
 civil war in the 1970s and 1980s. \n\nHe said, "... living through war, you 
 really do appreciate the sense of living history in a way that it’s not 
 just a detached, remote idea about people in the past, it’s about linking 
 past and present together and seeing how people in the present have an 
 opportunity to open their eyes, to see the humanity of people around 
 them.”\n\nHis most recent book is Age of Coexistence: The Ecumenical 
 Frame and the Making of the Modern Arab World:\n\n“Today's headlines 
 paint the Middle East as a collection of war-torn countries and extremist 
 groups consumed by sectarian rage. Ussama Makdisi's Age of Coexistence 
 reveals a hidden and hopeful story that counters this clichéd portrayal. 
 It shows how a region rich with ethnic and religious diversity created a 
 modern culture of coexistence amid Ottoman reformation, European 
 colonialism, and the emergence of nationalism.”\n\nCopies of the book 
 will be available at the event.\n
