Untold Histories of the Middle East by Amy Singer,Christoph Neumann,Selcuk Aksin Somel Pdf

Much traditional historiography consciously and unconsciously glosses over certain discourses, narratives, and practices. This book examines silences or omissions in Middle Eastern history at the turn of the twenty-first century, to give a fuller account of the society, culture and politics. With a particular focus on the Ottoman Empire, Turkey, Egypt, Iran and Palestine, the contributors consider how and why such silences occur, as well as the timing and motivation for breaking them. Introducing unexpected, sometimes counter-intuitive, issues in history, chapters examine: women and children survivors of the Armenian massacres in 1915 Greek-Orthodox subjects who supported the Ottoman empire and the formation of the Turkish republic the conflicts among Palestinians during the revolt of 1936-39 pre-marital sex in modern Egypt Arab authors writing about the Balkans the economic, not national or racial, origins of anti-Armenian violence the European women who married Muslim Egyptians Drawing on a wide range of sources and methodologies, such as interviews; newly-discovered archives; fictional accounts; and memoirs, each chapter analyses a story and its suppression, considering how their absences have affected our previous understandings of the history of the Middle East.

Middle East Christians by Ramsay Dass Pdf

This is the untold story of a heroic, courageous people who refused to be disenfranchised or extinct while facing state and personal perils, genocide, persecution, bigotry, forced immigration, and hatred. Their survival until now is an unparalleled epic in chapters of humankind. The untold story of over thirty million indigenous Middle Eastern people, over six million Middle East Christian Americans in the United States, and millions of others in diaspora that have been ignored by Western governments, denied basic human rights by many Middle East governments, and tormented by the rise of religious fanaticism. The untold story of those whose aspirations their counterparts have tried to suppress, whose identity they have tried to ignore, and whose contributions to humanity they have tried to minimize.The untold story of those whose ancestors were the cradle of civilization. They built the Pyramids, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, the Tower of Nimrod, Hammurabi's Code, and ancient empires. They have advanced science, medicine, art, and astrology and have contributed to the Muslim and Arab world civilizations and the world at-large until today. The untold story of those who were the earliest believers in Christianity through the early Apostles, where their Aramaic language was spoken by Jesus Christ. They never wavered, and they spread their Christianity east to China and west to Rome.This is the untold story of the heritage, religion, and history of the Arab Christians, Armenians, Assyrians, Chaldeans, Coptics, Maronites, Melkites, Syriacs, and others since the dawn of civilization. This untold story is a cry in the wilderness for those who believe in human dignity, freedom and sanctuary of religion, and peace and prosperity in the Middle East to act now. What is the Middle East without Christianity and the Holy Land without Christians?

Inside the Middle East by Avi Melamed Pdf

Acclaimed Israeli intelligence analyst Avi Melamed has spent more than thirty years interpreting Middle East affairs. His long-awaited Inside the Middle East challenges widely-accepted perceptions and provides a gripping and uniquely enlightening guide to make sense of the events unfolding in the region—to answer how the Arab world got to this point, what is currently happening, what the ramifications will be, how they will affect Israel, and what actions must immediately be undertaken, including how Western leaders need to respond. Melamed considers all the major power players in the Middle East, explains the underlying issues, and creates a three-dimensional picture, an illustration that connects the dots and provides a fascinating roadmap. He elucidates developments such as the Arab Spring, the downfall of the Muslim Brotherhood, the rise of ISIS, the epic Sunni-Shiite animosity, the essence of the war in Syria, the role of the Caliphate and Jihad, and the looming nuclear arms race. He also provides a rare opportunity to journey into the psyche of Arab society. Look through the lens of its leaders and its most ruthless terrorists. See what makes them tick and what they want. Discover how they can be overtaken. This unparalleled volume is a milestone in our understanding of the Middle East. It is the untold story of the struggles that will shape the region, and the world, for decades to come, and a groundbreaking guide that will shake you to the core, force you to reevalute your outlook, and give you tips to navigate the future. From author Avi Melamed: The conflicts in the Middle East grow more confusing and dangerous every day. In my encounters with thousands of people from across the world - from global leaders to high school students - I know there is deep and intense thirst for knowledge because today understanding the Middle East is not optional – it’s mandatory. My new book, Inside the Middle East: Making Sense of the Most Dangerous and Complicated Region on Earth is based on my decades of advisory, counterterrorism, education, and intelligence – positions - as well as my intimate connections throughout the Arab world. The book also provides the building blocks and database to understand the contemporary Middle East, offers a unique insight into the Arab world, and is “a GPS to help you navigate the dramatically changing Middle East.” In the book, I also offer an out of the box idea that could lead to a positive breakthrough in the Israeli- Palestinian conflict.

Whispers and Wailings by Khan Mosleh Pdf

The book Whispers and Wailings is based on eight years of research. The author, Prof. Khan Mosleh, has lived and taught in various countries in the Middle East since January 1, 2012. In this long journey, he has come into contact with thousands of Bangladeshi immigrant workers and heard from them the tragic history of their lives. Although the workers are termed 'remittance fighters, ' they are neglected by their own country. In the Middle East, they are called 'Miskin.' These heroic workers sacrifice their happiness for 12 to 14 hours a day and 7 days a week and to bring smiles to the faces of their country and family. When the author came in contact with Hossein, a domestic help in a neighboring house in 2016, he came to know the details of his daily life. After seeing Hussein up close and knowing his unknown life story, a latent desire arose in the author's mind that these workers need to tell their story to the world. He started recording different people's stories little by little and continues to do so. The book tells the life story of the workers and describes the geographical and social aspects of the Middle East. The book includes an article on what you need to know about employment abroad, especially in Qatar and UAE. The book is dedicated to these immigrant workers. The author also wrote three books in the Bengali language, two original Attomoprokash (Self-revelation), Shonar Horeiner Khonje (Bengali version of Whispers and Wailings), and the Bengali translation of The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini.

Iraqi Women by Nadje Sadig Al-Ali Pdf

The war in Iraq has put the condition of Iraqi women firmly on the global agenda. For years, their lives have been framed by state oppression, economic sanctions and three wars. Now they must play a seminal role in reshaping their country's future for the twenty-first century. Nadje Al-Ali challenges the myths and misconceptions which have dominated debates about Iraqi women, bringing a much needed gender perspective to bear on the central political issue of our time. Based on life stories and oral histories of Iraqi women, she traces the history of Iraq from post-colonial independence, to the emergence of a women's movement in the 1950s, Saddam Hussein's early policy of state feminism to the turn towards greater social conservatism triggered by war and sanctions. Yet, the book also shows that, far from being passive victims, Iraqi women have been, and continue to be, key social and political actors. Following the invasion, Al-Ali analyses the impact of occupation and Islamist movements on women's lives and argues that US-led calls for liberation has led to a greater backlash against Iraqi women.

A Military History of the Modern Middle East by James Brian McNabb Pdf

This timely study synthesizes past history with the major military events and dynamics of the 20th- and 21st-century Middle East, helping readers understand the region's present-and look into its future. The Middle East has been-and will continue to be-a major influence on policy around the globe. This work reviews the impact of past epochs on the modern Middle East and analyzes key military events that contributed to forming the region and its people. By helping readers recognize historical patterns of conflict, the book will stimulate a greater understanding of the Middle East as it exists today. The work probes cause and effect in major conflicts that include the fall of the Ottoman Empire, the World Wars, the Arab-Israeli wars, and the U.S. wars with Iraq, examining the manner in which military operations have been conducted by both internal and external actors. New regional groups-for example, the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC)-are addressed, and pertinent events in Afghanistan and Pakistan are scrutinized. Since military affairs are traditionally an extension of politics and economics, the three are considered together in historical context as they relate to war and peace. The book closes with a chapter on the Arab Awakening and its impact on the future balance of power.
