Ibrahim Abu-Lughod (Arabic: ??????? ??? ????, February 15, 1929 – May 23, 2001) was a Palestinian (later American) academic, characterised by Edward Said as "Palestine's foremost academic and intellectual" and by Rashid Khalidi as one of the first Arab-American scholars to have a really serious effect on the way the Middle East is portrayed in political science and in America".
His student Deborah J.
Gerner wrote that he "took on the challenge of interpreting U.S.
politics and society for the Palestinian community as well as eloquently articulating Palestinian aspirations to the rest of the world."
