The Caryle Murphy-Howe Papers

We extend a special thank you to Caryle Murphy‑Howe for generously donating her personal papers from her time as a foreign correspondent for the Washington Post in the early 2000's, to the Center's archives. 

A Pulitzer Prize winning journalist, Murphy is known for her careful reporting and insightful analysis, which offers readers an essential understanding of how the diverse strands of Islam have shaped the Arab world’s most influential societies. Her acclaimed book, Passion for Islam: Shaping the Modern Middle East, further deepens this exploration, making her contributions an invaluable resource for those seeking greater context on the Muslim experience, both historically and today.
