Abstract	America's Middle East Studies Centers (MESCs) were originally founded to study the politics, culture, and language of Middle Eastern nations. But our analyses and case studies demonstrate that Middle East centers have since shifted their focus to promoting left-wing ideologies. "Hijacked: The Capture of America's Middle East Studies Centers" tells the story of how such research can become captured by activist faculty and foreign governments. In documenting the history of MESCs and the financial arrangements that allow foreign donations to flow to American Universities, "Hijacked" also offers recommendations to reform Middle East Studies Centers.
