‘Best Mosques Near Me’
This article uses digital and lived religion perspectives to analyze the phenomenon of American Muslims using online tools to search for and rate-and-review mosques. Focusing on four mid-size U.S. cities – Boston, Indianapolis, Denver, and Seattle – it surveys three major online sources for mosque finding: the Muslim-focused Salatomatic, the review site Yelp, and Google’s location-based search. By braiding together site content and user reviews, …
Recovering Palestinian Lives
This article works to recover the life story of Qudsiyya Khurshid, a once well-known Mandate Palestinian intellectual and educator, who wrote essays for publication and for broadcasting on the Palestine Broadcasting Service, while working as a principal at girls’ schools in al-Bireh and Jerusalem. One of a number of educated women active in the Mandate public sphere, she disappeared from public consciousness after the Nakba. But in Luzerne County…
Media of the Masses
I missed my chance to participate in the full flowering of the cassette era in the Arab world. When I started spending my summers in Damascus in the early 2000s, I bought CDs—lots of them, of whatever my friends were listening to or whatever I heard in the music videos that played during women’s hours at the gym. I did notice that my purchases were all much less expensive than comparable CDs would have been in the United States. The disc jackets …
“Recognizing the Commencement of Ramadan … ”
This article traces the history of the simple resolutions introduced in the United States Congress almost annually since 2001 to recognize the commencement of Ramadan, and to offer good wishes to Muslims in the United States and globally. Only one of these has passed. These symbolic resolutions have been little studied, in contrast to media attention on White House iftars and presidential Ramadan greetings. Using Congressional sources, this artic…
Situating Radio in the Soundscape of Mandate Palestine
This article situates radio within the broader soundscape and social world of 1930s–1940s Mandate Jerusalem. It examines several layers of the radio soundscape: the sounds of the broadcasting studio, the sounds and noise that radio listeners might have experienced from their set, and the sounds of radio broadcasting as mingled with other kinds of sound in Jerusalem's public and private urban spaces. Contextualizing radio sounds within the broader…
Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Hajj Apps
Since the early 2010s, apps have helped Muslim pilgrims manage nearly every aspect of the hajj. This article uses the Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah’s hajj apps as a case study of influential hajj apps, offering a descriptive and analytic review of their functioning, impact, and reception. This case study helps point to the importance of hajj management as a state-level political and religious enterprise, helping widen the focus on religious ap…
Listening in from afar
This article uses the case study of the Bahrain listeners’ committee, a radio listening group formed in 1938 in response to the establishment of the BBC’s Arabic broadcasting service, to argue that interwar Gulf radio listening was more extensive than has been imagined, that Gulf listeners had specific interests regarding radio programming that differed from those in the Levant, and that small groups of listeners could substantially impact the Ar…
An Alternative Vision of Statehood
This study contributes to efforts to theorize contemporary challenges to the nation-state as a normative governance unit through an analysis of Islamic State’s state ideology. It is argued that, by reinterpreting concepts from Islamic history, IS puts forth a religiously motivated, post-national state ideology. Based on an interdisciplinary reading of Dabiq magazine, the de facto official IS publication between 2014 and 2016, three concepts emerg…
Can imperial radio be transnational? British‐affiliated Arabic radio broadcasting in the interwar period
This media history article uses the development of the British Broadcasting Corporation's Arabic radio broadcasting service in 1938 as a case study for considering the intersections and overlaps between transnationalism and imperialism in the early mid‐20th century. Archival evidence suggests that the British Broadcasting Corporation's Arabic broadcasting service, which was based in London, relied for human resources, programming, and other forms…
Locating Palestine's Summer Residence
The carving up of the Ottoman Levant into British and French Mandates after World War I introduced new realities for the inhabitants of the region. This article uses Lebanese tourism and the promotion of Lebanon as a tourist destination to Palestinians of all religious backgrounds as a case study to investigate the challenges and potentials of the new Mandate structures. Using Palestinian government archives and newspapers, it examines how Lebano…
Islamic emoticons and religious authority
Who Heard What When
Incorporating descriptions and analyses of sound into Middle Eastern history offers a wealth of opportunity for enriching our understanding of the historical record. But sometimes we need to get back to the basics: the “five w's and one h” of sound studies, so to speak. In what follows I would like to run this simple exercise with radio in the Mandate-era Levant, in order to lay out the basic data and begin to reflect on how it might aid scholars…
Syria and the Olympics
Since its independence in 1946, Syria has fielded a team for every summer Olympic competition except 1956, yet has won only three Olympic medals. In contrast with its smaller, higher-powered neighbour Lebanon, its participation at the Olympics has been consistent but limited, with the country making little impact internationally. Yet the history of Syria's involvement with the Olympics reflects key elements of its political and social history: it…
"This Is Jerusalem Calling"
Modeled after the BBC, the Palestine Broadcasting Service was launched in 1936 to serve as the national radio station of Mandate Palestine, playing a pivotal role in shaping the culture of the emerging middle class in the region. Despite its significance, the PBS has become nearly forgotten by scholars of twentieth-century Middle Eastern studies. Drawn extensively from British and Israeli archival sources, "This Is Jerusalem Calling" traces the c…
Part of imperial communications
From 1934 to 1941, three British-governed radio stations were established in the Middle East: Egyptian State Broadcasting (ESB) in Cairo (1934), the Palestine Broadcasting Service (PBS) in Jerusalem (1936), and the Near East Broadcasting Service (NEBS) in Jaffa (1941). These three stations were modeled on the BBC and run as colonial or imperial stations—but they were also considered national stations. As a result, they operated as hybrid entities…
Pioneer of Olympism in the Middle East’
Since 1947, Lebanon has fielded a team for every Olympic competition except 1956, yet has won only four Olympic medals. While the country's medal count has been small, this article argues that Lebanon's participation in the Olympics was part of a broader effort to develop Lebanese interest in sports, as well as to enhance Lebanon's position regionally and internationally. One man led both efforts: Gabriel Gemayel, the founder and long-term head o…
The changing face ofEl Moudjahidduring the Algerian War of Independence
The 1956 Soummam conference is considered a turning point for Algeria’s National Liberation Front (FLN), due to a platform that asserted the supremacy of political over military objectives and the corollary importance of diplomacy and public relations. For domestic outreach, the FLN turned to a small publication that had debuted months previously - El Moudjahid - giving it a heightened profile and a new importance.\nFrom its founding in June 1956…
