21:51Now Playingdemocracynow.org - We speak with Nada Bakri, the widow of Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter Anthony Shadid, about her husband's passion for covering the Middle East and his posthumous memoir. "House of Stone: A Memoir of Home, Family, and a Lost Middle East" chronicles Shadid's rebuilding of his family's ancestral home in Lebanon. "He felt like [the Arab Spring] is a dream come true for every journalist covering the Middle East," Bakri says. "After covering it for so many years, oppression and dictatorships, and wars and conflicts and violence, finally there was something changing, something positive and optimistic." Bakri is a Lebanese-born journalist who also writes for the New York Times.
