Good Concept, Bad Concept
This introduction to the special section on “Concepts of Difference: Historicizing Religion and Race in the Modern Middle East” argues for history as a practice of distinction. Ongoing critical historical work within Middle East studies and without has argued not merely that the category of religion is particular to a modern European genealogy but, further, that it is historically coextensive with race. Here, there is tension that needs resolving…
Has the Sharia of Christianity Been Corrupted?
This article takes the oeuvre of Syrian intellectual Farah Antun (1874–1922) as an entry point into the vexed relationship between religion, historicity, and the secular. Although it is true that Antun's concept of religion bore the unmistakable marks of European Christian heritage, the article seeks to illustrate something different: That Antun's work raised the very problem of the relationship between the category of religion and its historicit…
The 'Millet' Paradigm
This article argues that the late Ottoman Empire saw the rise of a novel concept of difference, the 'millet,' that fundamentally reordered the lives of the empire's many subjects.

Unlike the Islamic disti…
The challenges faced during home office interview when seeking asylum in the United Kingdom

Yet the ability to disclose everything at initial interview can be impacted by many factors. This study explores how applicants experienced interviews with the HO and its effects. Semi-Structured interviews were conducted with eight participants who had been through the UK asylum process. Transcripts of interv…
Documenting Community in the Late Ottoman Empire
This article traces a conflict that erupted in the late 19th century between the Armenians and the Süryani. This conflict, I argue, precipitated nothing less than the creation of the Süryani community itself. The dispute began over the key to a closet in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, but it quickly evolved. Soon, the Armenians and the Süryani were clashing over holy places all around Jerusalem. The dispute centered on an Ottoman administrativ…
