The Plight of the Arab Intellectual

An encounter between philosopher Sadik Jalal Al-Azm, famous for his controversial and censured works on religion, politics and culture in the Middle East, and Bilal Khbeiz, an independent poet, essayist and journalist in exile, brings both men's personal experiences to bear on a discussion of the Arab intellectual as political, cultural and social construct.
