Perhaps you could begin by telling our readers about the Elizabeth Longford Prize for Historical Biography, and what the judges are looking for. The prize is now in its 22nd year. It was founded over two decades ago by Flora Fraser, the granddaughter of Elizabeth Longford, and by Flora’s then-husband Peter Soros. The idea was to celebrate and encourage the kind of historical biography that Elizabeth Longford wrote.

Hugh Roberts has died from cancer at the age of 76. Among his books were a collection of penetrating articles on Algerian politics, The Battlefield; a meticulous historical study of Kabyle society, Berber Government; and a monograph on the Arab Spring, based on pieces he’d published in the LRB. To read Hugh’s writing – whether in his books, his articles or the analyses he wrote for the International Crisis Group – is to encounter a thinker of unusual rigour, seriousness and daring.

En préparant la musique de cet album, la tragédie de Gaza a occupé une place importante dans mon esprit. Après avoir lu les précédents écrits de l’auteur Adam Shatz sur le sujet, je l’ai invité à rédiger cet essai. En 1991, Anouar Brahem sortait son premier album chez ECM, Barzakh, enregistré par un trio composé de Brahem au oud, Béchir Selmi au violon et Lassad Hosni aux percussions. «Barzakh» — qui signifie «séparation» ou «barrière» en arabe — est un mot riche en significations.

In 1991 the Tunisian oud player and composer Anouar Brahem released his first album on ECM, Barzakh, a trio that also featured Béchir Selmi on violin and Lassad Hosni on percussion. “Barzakh”—“separation” or “barrier” in Arabic—is a word rich in significations. In Islamic theology it refers to the intermediate stage between death and resurrection, when the spirit is separated from the body.

On Friday, 21 March – two weeks after the detention of Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian student from a refugee camp in Syria; a week after Ranjani Srinivasan, an Indian graduate student, fled to Canada to avoid being detained by ICE; and just a few days after Israel broke the ceasefire with Hamas, killing more than four hundred Palestinians in less than 24 hours – Columbia University capitulated to the Trump administration’s menu of demands, including a ban on the wearing of non-medical masks on...
