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.
