Edward W. Said once urged the legendary Eqbal Ahmad not to leave your
words scattered to the winds, or even recorded on tape, but collected
and published in several volumes for everyone to read.”Then those
who don’t have the privilege of knowing you will know what a truly
remarkable, gifted man you are.” In these intimate and wide-ranging
conversations, Ahmad discusses nationalism, ethnic conflict, the
politics of memory, and liberation struggles around the world.
