The Orientalist View in Lawrence of Arabia

In this remastered episode of Guerrilla History (originally released in January, 2021), we were joined by Professor Elizabeth F. Thompson to talk about her book How the West Stole Democracy from the Arabs, about the historic Syrian-Arab Congress of 1920. 

Elizabeth Thompson is the Mohamed S. Farsi Chair of Islamic Peace and Professor of History at American University.  Her book was published by Atlantic Monthly Press, and is available here: https://groveatlantic.com/book/how-the-west-stole-democracy-from-the-arabs/
