Fouad Ajami wrote political analysis and cultural commentary about the Arab world, US foreign policy and the relationship between intellectual life and state power in the Middle East. The Arab Predicament examines the crisis of Arab nationalism after the mid-twentieth century, while The Dream Palace of the Arabs follows writers and intellectuals confronting authoritarianism, defeat and modernity.
