Britain’s Man on the Spot in Iraq and Afghanistan

Government

and Diplomacy by Sir

Dobbs at the Apex of Empire

Ann

Henry

While little known today, Henry Dobbs was a key architect of the treaties that secured British India’s borders with restive Afghanistan and the Mandatory Iraq. This book brings Dobbs’s role in these events at the apex of the British Empire to light, drawing on previously untapped sources made up of Dobbs’ private records and letters and official sources to do so. Revealed are Dobbs’s interactions with other members of the colonial administration and its advisors, including Percy Cox and Gertrude Bell, combined with the personal reflections of a ‘man on the spot’ which show the contingency that attended the twilight decades of the British Empire.

Egypt under El-Sisi A Nation on the Edge

Maged Mandour

This book is the first dedicated to President Al-Sisi’s leadership. It is a chronology of the devastating political, economic and social consequences of direct military rule. Written by Maged Mandour, an expert on Egypt’s politics who took part in the 2011 revolution, it is a compelling account built on years of writing and research. This includes analysis of primary sources, such as laws, constitutional amendment issued by the regime, statements made by regime officials, and local media. Mandour explains exactly how Al-Sisi operates and what makes his regime so different, and so dangerous, compared to those that came before.

The Egyptian Revolution of 1919

Legacies and Consequences of the Fight for Independence

Edited by H.A. Hellyer, Royal United Services Institute, UK & Robert Springborg, Naval Postgraduate School, USA

This is the first text that brings together chapters examining the causes, consequences and legacies of the revolution. Egyptian and non-Egyptian scholars examine a range of topics linking back to that crucial event in Egyptian history, including the causes and course of the 1919 revolution, its impacts on subsequent political beliefs, practices and institutions, and its legacy today.

States of Exception or Exceptional States

Law, Politics and Giorgio Agamben in the Middle East

Edited by Simon Mabon, University of Lancaster, UK, Sanaa Al Sarghali, An-Najah UniversityNablus, Palestine & Adel Ruished, Lancaster University, UK

This book uses a multi-disciplinary approach to explore the application of the work of philosopher Giorgio Agamben to the Middle East after the Arab Uprisings, considering the evolution of regime-society relations that ultimately erupted in violence in the early months of 2011. Agamben’s ideas of the state of exception and bare life provide important intellectual tools to understand the nature of sovereignty and the regulation of life, which has largely been missing in the study of the region.

Energy Transitions in the Middle East Challenges and Opportunities

In this book, energy analysts, geopolitical experts and specialists of political economy examine the new energy potential in the Middle East.

The Middle East is revealed to be a key site of new energy production, sharing and technology innovation. At the same time, the authors examine the variables that will determine the success in each country and the challenges Middle Eastern states will face in navigating the global energy transition.

Atatürk Father of the Republic of Turkey

George W. Gawrych

Mustafa Kemal Atatürk was one of the most significant political leaders of the twentieth century. In this book, George Gawrych studies Atatürk’s career in detail, showing how Atatürk married the traits of the classic military man-of-action with those of the intellectual, theorist and pragmatist as a statesman. Gawrych places Atatürk in the context of his times to reveal how he harnessed wider forces to set Turkey on a path of secular nationalism and comprehensive modernization. His legacy can be seen everywhere in Turkey today, from the role and rights of women in society to the struggle for developing a democracy in the Republic. Gawrych addresses the costs of Atatürk’s policies, including the suppression of minorities and the imposition of a cult of personality and authoritarian rule in the name of ‘Turkification’. The book presents a nuanced analysis of a complex figure who consciously created a living legacy that still casts a shadow over Turkey’s political and intellectual discourse.

American Diplomacy Toward Lebanon Lessons in Foreign Policy and the Middle East

David Hale, Wilson Center, USA

David Hale examines several key episode in US diplomatic history with Lebanon, starting with Lebanon's independence in 1943, and bringing the themes to the present. Crucial events such as the Lebanese Civil War, the Cedar Revolution, and more recently the spillover from the Syrian Civil War, are examined within the context of the respective US government administrations of the time and their foreign policy strategies. This study focuses on how, during these critical periods, American diplomacy toward Lebanon had consequences beyond the country itself, and on the narrative lines and lessons for the broader conduct of American foreign policy.

Mapping the Fault Lines in Turkey-US Relations

Making the Vulnerable Partnership

Kilic Bugra Kanat

While Turkish-US relations have always been susceptible to different crises, they enjoyed a brief “golden era” in the 1950s. This book argues that a false nostalgia about that period has distorted analyses by scholars and policymakers ever since. To provide a more accurate assessment, this book look at the patterns of crises between the two countries throughout history and how these relate to the current crises in Turkish-American relations today. It coins a new conceptual framework to understand this partnership: the “vulnerable partnership”. It is the only book in English dedicated to the history of Turkish-American relations.

Land and Legal Texts in the Early Modern Ottoman Empire Harmonization, Property Rights and Sovereignty

Malissa Taylor, University of Massachusetts

Amherst, USA

Published in association with the British Institute at Ankara this book uses Arabic and Ottoman Turkish sources drawn from three genres of legal text, this book is the first full-length study in decades to investigate the evolution of Ottoman land law from its “classical” articulation in the sixteenth century to its reformulation in the 1858 Land Code. The book demonstrates that the rising consensus of the early modern jurists that the sultan was the source of the land law paved the way for the wider legislative authority that the Ottoman state would increasingly assert in the Tanzimat period of reform.

Women Fighters in the Kurdish National Movement

Transforming Gender Politics and the PKK

Mustafa Kemal Topal, Roskilde University, Denmark

Spoils of War in the Arab East Reconditioning Society and Polity in Conflict

Based on fieldwork undertaken in Iraq, Syria and Europe - including in-depth interviews and participant observation – this book examines Kurdish women fighters’ motivations to join The Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK). The book is the largest ethnographic study on this Kurdish militant political organization and armed guerrilla movement to date. It discusses Kurdish women’s personal life stories and views on gender, patriarchy, and ethnic minority experiences. It reveals for the first time that Kurdish women fighters join the PKK to improve conditions for themselves but also to improve conditions for

Religious Minorities in Iraq

women

This book provides a critical analysis of current post-conflict frameworks for Syria and Iraq. Drawing on empirical research, the book shows that reconciliation and reconstruction scenarios need to be considered alongside the realities on the ground. It argues that Iraq and Syria exist in a condition of ‘conflict transformation’ rather than of ‘conflict termination’, because the extreme changes that accompanied these countries into war continue long after the conflicts end. A critical analysis of existing post-conflict frameworks, their applicability and their potential outcomes in Iraq and Syria, the book is a vital contribution to post-conflict studies.

Co-Existence, Faith and Recovery after ISIS

Maria Rita Corticelli, International University of Erbil, Iraq

The religious minorities of Iraq suffered immense violence at the hands of ISIS and are now trying to rebuild their lives. In their own words, and based on interviews with over 100 people, this book tells their stories. Covering the experiences of the Christians, Kakais, Yezidis, Sunni Muslims and Shabaks, amongst others, the research reveals how the different communities narrate their beliefs and deal with life in the aftermath of ISIS. This is the first book to illustrate how a strong network between the minorities operates in an effort to peacefully coexist, based on their shared experience of persecution and oppression.

Palestinian Refugee Women from Syria to Jordan

Decolonizing the Geopolitics of Displacement

Afaf Jabiri, University of East London, UK

In this book Afaf Jabiri examines the experiences of Palestinian women from Syria displaced to Jordan and argues for a feminist analysis of settler-colonialism, particularly in the case of second displacement. Based on four years of field research in camps in Jordan - including interviews with Palestinian refugee women, aid workers, and representatives of international organisations and NGOs in Jordan - the book highlights how local women’s groups and frontline workers attempt to fill service gaps. The book reveals how these groups have challenged state politics, the selectivity of aid, and the politics of the gendered development approach in humanitarian settings.

Slavery in the Modern Middle East and North Africa

Exploitation and Resistance from the 19th Century - Present Day

Edited by

How have practices of slavery existed over the past two centuries in the Middle East and North Africa? This book argues that in spite of the great regional diversity between and within the states studied, clear commonalities exist in the practices of slavery across this super-region. The book is the first to focus on slavery from the 19th century to the present day and the authors focus on the unheard voices of slaves. The chapters are based on sources in Arabic, Persian, Turkish and materials in minor and endangered languages, such as Soqotri, Balochi and Sorani Kurdish.

The Formation of the UAE State-Building and Arab Nationalism in the Middle East

Kristi Barnwell, University of Illinois, USA

Based on primary source materials from British and American government archives, speeches, government publications from the Arab Emirates - as well as memoirs and secondary sources - the book sheds light on the processes and problems surrounding the creation of the UAE. Kristi Barnwell demonstrates that Arab rulers in the Persian Gulf strove to create their new state with close ties to Great Britain, which provided technical, military and administrative assistance to the Emirates; while also publicly embracing the popular ideologies of anti-imperialism and Arab socialism that were still dominating the political discourse in the Arab world.

Russian-Iranian Alignment in the Middle East

Ghoncheh Tazmini, London School of Economics, UK

To understand the Russia-Iran relationship, this book assesses the foundation upon which Moscow and Tehran have built their strategic partnership. Ghoncheh Tazmini argues for a Russia-Iran ‘alignment’, which is based on their shared narratives of the international order. She shows that to counteract US unilateralism, and with both states feeling internationally isolated, the Kremlin needs Tehran as much as Tehran needs the Kremlin. The book shows that despite their differences, Russian-Iranian relations are a lot more durable than many in the West and the Middle East may believe.

Representing PostRevolutionary Iran

Captivity, Neo-Orientalism, and Resistance in Iranian–American Life

Writing

Hossein Nazari, University of Tehran, Iran

This book analyses the processes of production, promotion, and reception of memoirs of diasporic Iranian-American authors. It provides new perspectives on key examples of the genre such as Betty Mahmoody’s Not Without My Daughter, Azar Nafisi’s Reading Lolita in Tehran and Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi. Hossein Nazari places these texts in their social and political contexts, tracing their origins within the trope of the America captivity narrative, and critically unearths their neo-Orientalist tendencies within. The book analyses the structural means by which stereotypes about Islam and women in the Islamic Republic in these narratives are privileged by news media and the creative industries, while also charting a growing number of counterhegemonic memoirs which challenge these narratives by representing more nuanced accounts of life in Iran after 1979.

Rebels with a Cause The Failure of the Left in Iran

The author here unearths new details and provides fresh insights into an enduring puzzle of modern Iranian political history, concluding that the Left’s demise came from a combination of Iran’s geopolitical setting, where both the Soviet and western worlds saw advantage in the stability of Iran during the Cold War, as well as internal factors such as splits and factionalism, and - not least - the Iranian Left’s over-enthusiastic devotion to a barren Stalinism with its poverty of philosophy and ideas. Based on primary and secondary Persian-language sources never before published in English, this book is a crucial addition to the literature on modern Iranian history and the study of communist and socialist history in general.

Ethos A Critique of Eurocentric Modernity

Ahmad Kasravi

Translated by Hamid Rezaei Yazdi, Humber College, Canada

Ethos is a radical critique of Eurocentrism. In it, prolific Iranian critic and intellectual Ahmad Kasravi unleashes a scathing attack on Europe’s selfperceived superiority as well as on Eastern promoters of the idea. Kasravi proceeds to outline the ills of post-Enlightenment European civilization: imperialism, colonialism, capitalism, Orientalism. Embedded in Europe’s notions of “progress,” these phenomena have in reality brought about social Darwinism, racism, war-mongering, materialism, mindless consumerism, inequality and immorality in the world. Disputing the rationality or civility of these Western tokens, Kasravi warns Euro-enthusiasts in his country of the consequences of wholesale Westernization and instead advocates for a vernacular modernity premised on the noble virtues of Iranian culture and of rationalist Islam. The book presents an embryonic articulation of postcolonial discourse which would, decades later, come to maturity and international recognition in the works of Edward Said and others.

Iranian-Saudi Rivalry since 1979 In the Words of Kings and Clerics

Talal Mohammad, University of Oxford, UK

This book examines Saudi-Iranian rivalry through the lens of discourse analysis. It tracks how each country represents ‘the Other’ in their official statements, media and sermons. The author, fluent in both Arabic and Persian, provides original insights by examining in parallel how the process of Othering functions in the pursuit of their political rivalry and religious conflict. Looking at speeches and pronouncements of the political elites, state-sponsored media and leading clerics in both countries since 1979, it explores the tropes and narratives adopted by each to (mis) represent the Other and identifies a pattern of power plays and mutual provocations.

Oliver Scharbrodt, University of Birmingham, UK Provides a complete intellectual biography of Muhammad ‘Abduh (1849-1905), one of the most influential Muslim modernist reformers of the 19th century. The book adopts a biographical approach in order to delineate his intellectual formation as a reformer and to illustrate significant developments and breaks throughout his life. By using new sources – in particular his writings from his early politically activist career – the book illustrates ‘Abduh’s complex intellectual formation and the various traditional religious, philosophical and cultural influences that shaped him.

State, Society and Islam in the Western Regions of the Sahara Regional Interactions and Social Change

This open access book takes a deeper and broader perspective on the Hassaniya speaking peoples’ struggle for self-determination in the Western Sahara. So far, in-depth understanding and analysis remains neglected and little work has been undertaken on the diverse experiences of the Hassaniya and the contrasting political regimes under which they live. This book examines the complex and ambiguous relations between statehood, Islam, nation building and identity formation in hassanophone northwest Africa. Contributors present new analysis and up-to-date fieldwork to provide an inside perspective on these populations and their regional interactions, shedding new light on the region.

British Jews and Imperial Service

Nationalism, Pan-Islamism and Zionism in Mandate Palestine and Colonial India

In the aftermath of WWI, the British empire sent a new generation of officers to govern the increasingly tumultuous colonial territories. Among them were three British-Jewish men, whose careers went on to defy the antisemitism of their time. This book explores the lives of these men, charting the way they navigated the landmark events and policies that set the course for the instability and ultimate collapse of British imperial rule. Investigating to what extent their Jewish backgrounds impacted their careers, this book sheds new light on the controversies of British imperial rule in the inter-war period and its damning legacies.

The Arab Nahda as Popular Entertainment

Mass Culture and Modernity in the Middle East

Edited by Hala Auji, American University of Beirut, Lebanon, Raphael Cormack, Columbia University, USA & Alaaeldin Mahmoud, American University of the Middle East, Kuwait Studies on the 19th to mid-20th century’s transformative cultural movement known as the Arab nahda (renaissance), have largely considered the moment’s concerns with nationalism, secularism, and language, often told from the perspective of privileged groups. This collection shifts the focus away from elite circles to quotidian audiences, exploring music, visual media, theatre and popular fiction. Paying special attention to networks of movement and exchange across Arab societies in Lebanon, Syria, Egypt, Iraq, and Morocco, the ‘translocal/transnational’ cultural histories in the book also contribute to global studies on gender, sexuality, and morality.

Desert Voices

Bedouin Women's Poetry in Saudi Arabia

Moneera Al-Ghadeer

The Bedouin, or 'desert dwellers', have a rich cultural heritage often expressed through music and poetry. Here, Moneera Al-Ghadeer provides us with the first comparative reading of women's oral poetry from Saudi Arabia. She examines women's lyrics of love, desire, mourning and grievance. We come to understand Bedouin mores and - most significantly - the unique description of a desert that is consistently held to be infinite, evocative, stimulating and an eternal freedom. As the first English translation and analysis of this poetry, Desert Voices is both a gesture to preserving the oral poetic tradition of Bedouin women and a radical critique addressing the exclusion of their poetry from current academic literary studies. The book provides invaluable material for reflection in the debates around oral culture and women's poetic composition while it translates, presents and critically examines a genre, which opens Arabic poetry and literature to contemporary theory and criticism.

Theodore Metochites

Patterns of Self-representation in Fourteenth Century Byzantium

Ioannis Polemis, University of Athens, Greece

In this book, Ioannis Polemis provides the first in-depth study of Byzantine statesmen and philosopher Theodore Metochites’ oeuvre, revealing the complex way he represented the authorial self to critique the politics and mores of his day, whilst at the same time shielding himself from potential criticism. Polemis details the way Metochites deftly manipulated figures and tropes from classical antiquity and early Christianity to justify his role in public life, which was traditionally shunned by scholars in the pursuit of ‘logos’. The book provides unique insights into one of the late Empire’s most important figures, as well as more widely deepening our understanding of classical reception in Byzantium and the social, political and intellectual climate of Constantinople in the fourteenth century.

The year 922 saw a series of remarkable face-toface encounters in the Central Asian steppes. Ibn Fadlan, an emissary from the Baghdad caliphate to the ruler of the Volga Bulgars, gives a vivid eyewitness description of the peoples he came upon en route. This unprecedented interdisciplinary study of Ibn Fadlan’s text and the world he surveyed draws on a variety of specialists to give readers both ‘the bigger picture’ of cultural and economic change in Eurasia, Byzantium and the Muslim world, and hard facts, in the form of archaeological and numismatic data.

Armenians in the Byzantine Empire

Identity, Assimilation and Alienation from 867 to 1098

Toby Bromige, City University of London, UK

This book investigates the relationship between Armenians and the Byzantine Empire, arguing that up until the eleventh century migrants of Armenian background were able to fully assimilate into the Empire, recognized fully as Romaioi (Byzantine Romans). It uses the extant sources from a number of traditions and material culture in a chronological approach to reveal issues of migration, religion, ethnic stereotypes, and cultural assimilation, bringing to life the experiences of Medieval Armenians in the Empire, including their ultimate alienation at the onset of the Turkic migration to Anatolia.

Atta Muhammad, Talim-ul-Islam College, Pakistan

This book examines the political and social activities of Sufis in Baghdad in the period 1000-1258, arguing that Sufis played an important role in creating a public sphere that existed between ordinary subjects and the government. Drawing on Arabic sources and secondary literature, it explores the role of Sufis and their institutions including their ribats or lodge houses, from the use of Sufis as political ambassadors to their role in redistributing charity to the poor, revealing the role of Sufism in structuring a wide range of social and political arrangements in this period.

Forced Migration in Jordan Reception Policies and Settlement Strategies

Edited by Jalal Al Husseini, Institut Français du Proche-Orient (Ifpo), Jordan, Norig Neveu, French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS), France & Valentina Napolitano

Jordan sheds important light on key issues around forced migration in the Middle East. This book is the first to study the long-term impact of multiple immigration flows on Jordanian society from 1948 to the present day. Part One investigates the criteria for integration and exclusion imposed by Jordan and international humanitarian organisations on different groups of refugees. Part Two analyses how state policy impacts the solidarity networks between different migrant communities and the different political, social, religious and family networks that are set up in camps and urban settings. Part Three turns to how migrants shape the Jordanian cityscape and geography themselves.

Armenians in the Modern and Early Modern World

Bedross Der Matossian, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, USA

The Armenian Diaspora and Stateless Power Collective Identity in the Transnational 20th Century

How has the Armenian diaspora formed and maintained a sense of collective identity despite the challenges of the 20th century? Historians, cultural theorists, literary critics, sociologists, political scientists, and anthropologists here probe the history and experience of the Armenian diaspora, examining literary and cultural production as well as case studies from the genocide of 1915 to the present day. The book shows that a diaspora’s statelessness can not only be evidence of its power, but also how this “stateless power” acts as an alternative and complement to the nation-state.

The Armenian Social Democrat Hnchakian Party

Politics, Ideology and Transnational History

Edited by Bedross Der Matossian, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, USA

Divided into sections which cover the origins, ideology, and regional history of the revolutionary Armenian Social Democrat Hnchakian Party, this book situates the history of the Hnchaks within debates around socialism, populism, and nationalism in the 19th and 20th centuries. The SDHP was not only an Armenian party but had a global Marxist outlook, and scholars in this volume bring to bear expertise in a wide range of histories and languages including Russian, Turkish, Persian and Latin American to trace the emergence and role this influential party played from their split with the Armenian Revolutionary Federation and the events of the Armenian genocide to the formation of the first Armenian Republic and then Soviet Armenia.

Ararat in America

Armenian American Culture and Politics in the Twentieth Century

Benjamin F. Alexander, New York City College of Technology, USA

This book examines the role of community leaders and influencers including clergy, youth organizers, and partisan newspaper editors, in fostering not only a sense of Armenian identity but specific ethnic-partisan leanings within the group’s population. It explores the rivalry between two major Armenian political parties, the Tashnags and the Ramgavars, and shows that, rather than simply acting as an impediment to Armenian unity, it played a role in keeping certain community institutions alive. He analyses the two camps as representing two conflicting visions of how to be an ethnic group, drawing a comparison between the sociology-of-religion models of comfort religion and challenge religion.

Picturing the Ottoman Armenian World

Photography in Erzerum, Harput, Van and Beyond

David Low, AGBU Nubar Library, Paris, France

This book examines photographic activity in three cities on the Armenian plateau: Erzurum, Kharpert and Van. It explores how indigenous photography was rooted in the seismic social, political and cultural shifts that shaped Armenian lives during the Ottoman Empire’s last four decades. Arguing that photographic practice was marked by the era’s central movements, it shows how photography was bound-up in Armenian educational endeavours, mass migration and revolutionary activity. Photography responded to and became the instrument of these phenomena, so much so that they were responsible for the spread of the medium through the Armenian communities of the Ottoman East and the rapid increase in photographic studios.

National Security Surveillance in Southern Africa

An Anti-Capitalist Perspective

Jane Duncan, University of Johannesburg

The author uses southern Africa as a backdrop, and its liberation history, to examine what an anticapitalist perspective on intelligence and security powers could look like. Southern Africa faces no major terrorism threats at the moment, which should make it easier to develop clearer anti-surveillance campaigns than in Europe or the US. Yet, because of tactical and strategic ambivalence about security powers, movements often engage in limited calls for intelligence and policing reforms, and fail to provide an alternative vision for policing and intelligence. National Security Surveillance in Southern Africa examines what that vision could look like.

Autocratization in Contemporary Uganda

Clientelism, Coercion and Social Control

Edited by Moses Khisa, North Carolina State University, USA

The Autocratic Turn in Uganda analyses two interrelated outcomes: autocratisation, manifest in the deepening of personalist rule or Musevenism, and the regime resilience that has made Museveni one of Africa's current-longest surviving rulers. How has this feat been possible, and what has been the trajectory of Museveni’s increasingly autocratic rule?

The Peacekeeping Failure in South Sudan

The UN, Bias and the Peacekeeper's Mind

Mark Millar, Norwegian Refugee Council

Using firsthand accounts from senior UN officials, and referencing hitherto unseen UN documents, this book explores the role of the UN peacekeeping mission in Sudan, and its ultimate failure. It challenges the resignation with which many in academia and the media greeted the underperformance of the peacekeepers. It suggests that, even while under-resourced, they could have done much more to prevent bloodshed in the new country and protected civilians from the chaos of the first years of the conflict.
