By Dalia Mahmoud ’98
Published in the February 3, 2010 issue
As an Arab-American Princeton alumna, I welcomed the cover story regarding Professor Amaney Jamal of the Near Eastern studies department in the Dec. 9 issue. There is high unmet need within American society to start to debunk the negative stereotypes and slurs that have been...
