For Wadie, who introduced me to the studies of Middle Eastern peoples: to his teaching, scholarship, friendship, encouragement, and conversation.
To Bill for his understanding, support, care, and common concerns.
And to Judith, Becca, and Manda: three beautiful women whom I cherish and who are amazingly tolerant and understanding of me and the Middle East. |
