75 - US-Middle East Relations, Part 2: Make Room for Other

This multi-episode series is about the history of relations between the United States and the Middle East, including both US foreign policy and the Middle Eastern immigrant experience. In this episode, Jaye recounts the early history of relations between the United States and the Middle East, focusing on the Barbary Wars, and delves into early immigration to the US from the Middle East.

What role did religion play in the acceptance of early Middle Eastern immigrants, and how did people of Middle Eastern descent become "white" in America?
