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. 650 0 Forced migration|zMiddle East|xHistory. 650 0 Refugees|zMiddle East|xHistory. 651 0 Middle East|xEmigration and immigration|xHistory. 830 0 Contemporary Middle East ;|v5. 856 41 |3Table of contents only|uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/ enhancements/fy1004/2009054138-t.html 856 42 |3Contributor biographical information|uhttp://www.loc.gov /catdir/enhancements/fy1004/2009054138-b.html 856 42 |3Publisher description|uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/ enhancements/fy1004/2009054138-d.html 856 42 |3Cover image|uhttp://assets.cambridge.org/97805218/17929/ cover/9780521817929.jpg
