Talhami describes the situation for many of the Palestinians as such, “From the days of their expulsion or flight from Palestine in 1948 to the present, Palestinian refugees have been a homeless and stateless population, which had a significant impact on the economy, civil peace, and foreign policies of their Arab host countries.” Talhami currently holds the D.K. Pearsons Professor of Politics title, and the editorship of the Arab Studies Quarterly journal. She has published novels about Palestinian and Egyptian history and identity. Talhami specializes in comparative politics, politics of the Middle East, African politics, the Third World, and women in the Third World.
