25th Annual Middle Eastern Heritage Celebration

THE MIDDLE EAST AT THE CROSSROADS OF CIVILIZATION, GEOPOLITICS, AND DREAMS

Presented by Dr. Sharat G. Lin

The Middle East, the cradle of civilization, sits at the crossroads of three great continents. It has been at the heart of the global competition for resources, colonialism, political upheaval, devastating conflicts, authoritarianism, and futurism. The root causes are complex and contrasting. The solutions require that external powers stop fueling conflicts with ever more weapons, war, attempts to divide and control, and subversion of democratic aspirations.

Dr. Sharat G. Lin is a medical scientist, political economist, writer, educator, photojournalist, and artist at the San José Peace & Justice Center, Human Agenda, and the Initiative for Equality.
