520    "Dispossession and forced migration in the Middle East 
       remain even today significant elements of contemporary 
       life in the region. Dawn Chatty's book traces the history 
       of those who, as a reconstructed Middle East emerged at 
       the beginning of the twentieth century, found themselves 
       cut off from their homelands, refugees in a new world, 
       with borders created out of the ashes of war and the fall 
       of the Ottoman Empire. As an anthropologist, the author is
       particularly sensitive to individual experience and how 
       these experiences have impacted on society as a whole from
       the political, social, and environmental perspectives. 
       Through personal stories and interviews within different 
       communities, she shows how some minorities, such as the 
       Armenian and Circassian communities, have succeeded in 
       integrating and creating new identities, whereas others, 
       such as the Palestinians and the Kurds, have been left 
       homeless within impermanent landscapes. The book is 
       unusual in combining an ethnographic approach that 
       analyzes the everyday experiences of refugees and migrants
       against the backdrop of the broad sweep of Mediterranean 
       history. It is intended as an introduction for students in
       Middle East studies, history, political science, and 
       anthropology and for anyone concerned with war and 
       conflict in the region"--Provided by publisher.
