{"value"=>"<p>Dating from 1973 to 2010, this series highlights Ye'or and Littman's articles, pamphlets, essays, lectures, interviews, and appearances at conferences. Many of the topics addressed in their books, including the history of Jewish people under Islamic rule and antisemitism in the Middle East, are expanded upon and further emphasized in their short writings and lectures. Ye'or's work is more prominent than Littman's in this series.</p> <p>The series is mostly made up of drafts and notes. As with the book drafts and proofs in Series I, the drafts here are often heavily annotated, providing insight into Ye'or and Littman's editing process. Some published pamphlets and journals are present. There are also accompanying publicity materials and press coverage of conferences and lectures.</p> <p>Articles, pamphlets, and essays date primarily from the 1970s and 1980s, and are largely in French or English. There are several pamphlets published by Centre d'Information et de Documentation sur le Moyen Orient (CID), mostly about dhimmis, that served as precursors to Ye'or's 1980 book <span class=\"title\">Le dhimmi</span>. Other articles were published in academic journals or magazines such as <span class=\"title\">The Wiener Library Bulletin</span>, <span class=\"title\">Journal de Genève</span>, and <span class=\"title\">Rond Point</span>. The few articles and essays by Littman discuss the historical conditions of Jewish people in Morocco and Persia (Iran). The series also holds a number of pamphlets by other people, mostly dating from the 1970s and 1980s; these consist of CID pamphlets featuring the work of Pearl Moran and Teddy Kollek, among others.</p> <p>Materials for conferences and lectures chiefly date from the 2000s and concern Ye'or's promotion and discussion of the \"Eurabia\" theory (press specifically for her book <span class=\"title\">Eurabia: The Euro-Arab Axis</span> is present in Series I). There are drafts of Ye'or's lecture notes, promotional material for conferences, programs, schedules, press coverage of her talks, and some correspondence. Other conference and lecture topics include Jewish refugees, antisemitism in the Middle East, and jihad. Box 59 contains a transcript of Ye'or's comments about the persecution of Christians in the Middle East made before the United States Senate in 1997. Box 60 contains a summary of Ye'or remarks at a 2005 Columbia University talk and the subsequent divided public response.</p>"}
