This book features chapters that examine the various ways of
belonging in the Middle East. Belonging can mean fitting in,
feeling at home, feeling a part; this kind of belonging is
profoundly social. Belongings can be possessions, objects closely
associated with one's deepest notions of identity. Both kinds of
belongings pertain to people and the kindreds, ethnic groups, and
nations (and/or states) they call their own. Belongings of both
kinds are, more often than not, emplaced and territorialized. All
of the chapters treat Middle Eastern collectivities as sites of
anguished cultural projects. All use metaphor: national territory
as woman, national resolve as cactus, and so on. None is
reductionistic; belonging is rendered in its complexity, with its
agonies as well as its joys. All could be identified with a growing
genre of work on belonging. At the heart of each are the bonds that
comprise belonging. Each one conveys both belonging's messiness and
its joys, and touches as much as it argues and elaborates. This
book was published as a special issue of Identities: Global Studies
in Culture and Power.
