JLG's close relationship with Palestinians wasn't without its ironies. In her recent memoir Khadija Habashneh recounts when Godard wished to film a woman struggling with a literacy lesson: the woman turned out to be very studious and didn't struggle, to Godard's disappointment.

My book Humor and Power in Algeria is now out in paperback with Indiana University Press. It's exciting to see it out in the world in tangible form. I'm also grateful to the Ministry of Moudjahidine for permission to use the cartoon from an anonymous FLN artist for the cover.

[Jessica Marglin @JessicaMarglin]

I'm extremely honored by this award, and I choose to take it as a sign of hope that the book award named after Albert Hourani has been awarded to a book about a Jew from Tunis. The Middle East and North Africa is never only what we see on the news today.
