From Forgotten Shores to a Port of Call: Ten Years at Mashriq & Mahjar
Like a Wolf Who Fell upon Sheep: Arab Diaspora and Religion in America, 1880-1930
Historians of migration have extensively studied the economic, social, and political impact of migration and the secular changes amongst diasporic communities, but changes in religious faith, practice and institutions remain opaque. Yet, they form part of the most intimate aspect of the lives transformed in movement and were, in fact, the most active fault line in diasporic communities and at home. However, in relation to religion in the Middle E…
On Forgotten Shores: Migration in Middle East Studies and the Middle East in Migration Studies
For all their apparent differences, the colonial and nationalist discourses of the twentieth century shared a vision of the world as an aggregate of discrete bundles of land and people, hermetic units sealed off from one another and defined by their particularities. Whether they spoke in terms of nations or empires, regions or civilizations, they worked to produce the reality they described – one of bounded territories and populations, each one n…

God Has Called Me to Be Free”: Aleppan Nuns and the Transformation of Catholicism in 18th-Century Bilad Al-Sham
On 10 June 1738 Maria Qari wrote her Catholic Melkite bishop, Athnasius Dahhan, an emphatic letter rejecting the authority of the Melkite church to impose the Eastern rite Rule of Saint Basil upon her and her fellow ʿabidāt (devotees). She unequivocally states, “It is important that your Excellency knows once and for all that I will only adopt the Augustinian Rule with the Ordinances of Saint Francis de Sales. I will not become a nun under any ot…
Becoming "Syrian" in America: A Global Geography of Ethnicity and Nation
Colonial and nationalist discourses have constructed landlocked histories of the Middle East. With differing valorizations, most such narratives nevertheless used the same trope of essentialized and timeless peoples and societies living in a clearly delineated and bounded geography. Postcolonial scholarship has endeavored to historicize these narratives by showing the contingency and complexity of categories such as nation, ethnicity, gender, cla…

House” to “Goddess of the House”: Gender, Class, and Silk in 19th-century Mount Lebanon
“Are you going to behave like a factory girl?!” With this phrase, an 1880s peasant in Mount Lebanon not only admonished a daughter, but also encapsulated the social and economic transformations which were altering the notions of family and society, and the gender roles underlying both. Typically enough, these transformations came about between 1843 and 1914 as a result of the interaction between the local peasant economy and European capitalism. …
