About Al-Hewar Magazine...
And Al-Hewar Center

Al-Hewar Magazine, featuring the English supplement The Arab-American Dialogue, was published from 1989 to 2009 to be a voice for intellectual opinions related to the Middle East and Arabic and Islamic issues. The magazine served as a forum for dialogue among the diverse opinions of Arabs as well as others with an interest in the Arab world and its culture and politics. The magazine covered a wide variety of subjects and was originally published in Arabic and English.

Al-Hewar Center and Al-Hewar Magazine, were founded upon a deep belief in dialogue and its enormous benefits to the Arab community. The events and speakers hosted by the Center tell an incredible tale of a community coming together to share experiences and learn from one another in order to become stronger and more purposeful.

Over the years, the Center and the magazines have provided a forum for Arabs to share their diverse opinions about a myriad of issues. We believe that the United States offers Arabs from different countries and backgrounds the unique opportunity and the freedom to come together to express their opinions and find common ground about many important issues. It also provides the opportunity for Arabs to show the best of Arabic culture and Islamic civilization to the larger American society. However, none of this can be achieved without a better understanding by the Arabs of their own culture nor without the unity of purpose that results from discussing and sharing opinions. It is with these goals in mind that Al-Hewar Center established its unique and effective style of open and respectful dialogue, often playing a role similar to university conflict resolution departments, focusing on subjects related to Arab issues and culture.

It is hoped that this style of open intra-Arab dialogue is laying the foundation for an Arab Renaissance.

Al-Hewar Magazine included transcripts from the lively and informative lectures and panel discussions that take place at Al-Hewar Center about Arab politics, culture, society, religion, business and more, by prominent thinkers, activists, businesspeople, diplomats, and others, providing a special glimpse into Arabic culture, religion, politics and civilization.

Both the English and Arabic sections of the magazine were written in an accessible style -- not overly scholarly, not superficial. As we say, they're "not too heavy, not too light- they're just right!"
