Arabist

The only Arabist with real knowledge of the country was a holdover from the previous administration.

There's a consciousness of the wider Arab world in Khoury and his work, but he's not a pan-Arabist per se.

It's a memoir of growing up as the son of an itinerant Arabist foreign service officer.

British officials denied the Pashto-speaking Arabist had been asked to step down, but said he was taking an “extended leave.”
