The scholarship of Anouar Majid, vice president for Global Affairs and director of the Center for Global Humanities, was a central part of Melanie Duguid-May’s recent article on the website Syndicate.

Writing in response to Alain Epp Weaver’s book Mapping Exile and Return: Palestinian Dispossession and a Political Theology for a Shared Future, Duguid-May comments that Weaver’s vision for a redrawn, bi-national solution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is more compelling when she considers it in light of Majid’s book We Are All Moors: Ending Centuries of Crusades against Muslims and Other Minorities.

Duguid-May explains how the insight Majid provides into the historical links binding Israelis and Muslims complements Weaver’s more cartographical approach. She writes, “Indeed, reading Epp Weaver and Majid alongside each other renews my hope in the possibilities for a shared future of co-existence in the land.”

Syndicate is an online theological studies forum where scholars engage each other’s ideas using recent publications as points of departure for addressing issues in contemporary theology and ethics. Duguid-May is John Price Crozer Professor of Theology at Colgate Rochester Crozer Divinity School.
