Carole H. Dagher, a visiting fellow at Woodstock in the spring of 1999, has published Bring Down the Walls: Lebanon's Post-War Challenge (St. Martin's Press, New York, 2000), a book she completed at Woodstock.  A native of Lebanon, Carole is a journalist and political analyst of Lebanon and peace in the Middle East.  Her book presents an insightful account on how Christian and Muslim communities emerged from the 16-year-old Lebanese war, their points of friction and their common grounds, and the prospects of Lebanon's communal representation system and pluralistic society.  She describes the central role played by the Holy See and John Paul II in bridging the gap between Christians and Muslims in Lebanon.

Raymond S. Mosha, a visiting fellow at Woodstock in 1997-1998, published The Heartbeat of Indigenous Africa: A Study of the Chagga Educational System (Garland Publishing, Inc., New York & London, 2000).  Born and raised in Tanzania, East Africa, Dr. Mosha has taught at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, Xavier University in Cincinnati, Loyola University in Chicago, and was chair of the spirituality department at the Catholic University of Eastern Africa in Nairobi, Kenya.  Adrian van Kaam, C.S.Sp., says the book, "Is not only exceptionally informative; it also becomes for properly disposed readers highly formative of their own spirituality and sensitivity to the power of symbol, ritual, religion, and fundamental human virtues.  Wisely balancing accurate social analysis with an ability to recount everyday experiences in Chagga society, this books offers holistic educators a way to understand how the time-tested wisdom of all indigenous cultures and religions forms the whole person, body, mind, and spirit."
