More about the book
The establishment of the Middle East Centre for Arab Studies (MECAS) in the village of Shemlan in 1947 sparked suspicion among Arabs due to its Western origins aimed at teaching Arabic and Arab history. Despite producing highly regarded specialists and attracting diplomats and businessmen, MECAS faced financial struggles and a lack of investment. This narrative explores the center's early promise and subsequent decline, raising questions about the potential of British initiatives that ultimately went unfulfilled.
