Bookstore Description:
Established in 1992, 10 years after the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs, Middle East Books and More is now a non-profit hub for Middle Eastern books and culture. We are located in a storefront in Adams Morgan, Washington, DC, below the Washington Report magazine’s offices. More and more shoppers strolling along the busy 18th Street restaurant corridor are discovering our shop full of Palestinian pottery, olive oil, and soaps. They stay to browse our bookshelves brimming with the latest books on U.S. foreign policy in the MENA region, Arabic poetry and literature, religion, security studies, cookbooks, children’s books, and much, much more. Our website, [link removed], is a vital part of Middle East Books and More. On it you’ll find a wide selection of products, which we can mail to visitors from around the world. Our mission is to encourage better U.S.-Middle East understanding, with an emphasis on informed debate on the Arab-Israeli peace process. In 2004, we
expanded our mission to help Palestinian businesses survive by promoting the sale of Palestinian pottery, embroidery, olive oil and other traditional crafts.
