Minorities and the Modern Arab World - New Perspectives

Informationen zum Autor Laura Robson is associate professor of history at Portland State University. She is the author of Colonialism and Christianity in Mandate Palestine . Klappentext In the wake of recent upheavals across the Arab world, a simplistic media portrayal of the region as homogenous has given way to a new though equally shallow portrayal, casting it as divided along ethnic, linguistic, and religious lines. The essays gathered in this volume challenge this representation with a nuanced exploration of the ways in which ethnic, religious, and linguistic commitments have intersected to create "minority” communities in the modern era. Zusammenfassung "This volume originated in a conference held at the Middle East Studies Center at Portland State University in 2013! Minorities of the Modern Middle East."--Acknowledgments page.
