A Journey Through Arab and Muslim History and Culture | The London Circle 323f1p

| The London Circle | 22 May 2025 The impact of Arab and Muslim history and culture on the West is far greater than we are told, taught and educated. Damascus alone; its history, culture, literature and cuisine, provides a lesson we would be advised to learn from. Diana Darke talks about her house in Damascus, as though describing a love story that embodies her fascination with Arab and Middle Eastern history and culture. In this episode, she discusses with Anas Altikriti how her love affair with that region began and how it developed over the years. She also talks about the Ottomans and how history might have not credited them as it should have. ----------- Guests: | Dr. Diana Darke, Arabist Historian and Author   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. u711a
