Edward Stated introduced the query of Palestine into the American mainstream. He taught at Columbia College for almost 40 years, and at present, greater than twenty years after his dying, pro-Palestine scholar protesters on that campus and others have invoked his title. In the meantime, his interviews flow into on social media and his books are taught at universities all over the world. On this episode: the story of the person who pushed for recognition of the Palestinian perspective, the pushback he confronted, and the risks he foresaw.
