鈥楾he Economist鈥� publishes letter by Anouar Majid

On July 26, 2014, The Economist published a letter to the editor by Anouar Majid, Ph.D., vice president for Global Affairs and director of the Center for Global Humanities.  Majid鈥檚 letter was in response to a previously published story 鈥淭he Arab world: Tethered by history.鈥�

In his letter, Majid notes that Morocco is 鈥渕ore liberal and stable than most of the 鈥榩rogressive鈥� republics created in the aftermath of European colonialism.鈥�  Arab states, in contrast, he argues, will only 鈥渞everse the decline of their civilizations鈥� when 鈥渢he entire Islamic legacy [is] subjected to rigorous intellectual analysis, much like when Judeo-Christian traditions were scrutinized by the probing questions of Enlightenment thinkers.鈥�
