Reinterprets the making of the modern Middle East by studying its
borderlands Evidence-driven case studies cover borderlands in
Turkey, Iraq, Syria, Palestine and Transjordan Informed by
discussions in borderland and mobility studies, and by global and
environmental history Brings late Ottomanists into conversation
with historians of the interwar Middle East For the past two
decades, insights gained from the burgeoning field of borderlands
studies have enabled a new generation of scholars to challenge
popular depictions of the emergence of the modern Middle East. For
them, the region's borderlands were not just mere sites of
peripheral activity, but rather liminal spaces criss-crossed by
global flows and circulations central to state- and
nation-formation across the Middle East. Regimes of Mobility offers
a select number of case studies that highlight the connectedness of
the politics of borderlands throughout the interwar Middle East.
The emergence of the modern Middle East is the result of three
complementary historical developments: the disintegration of the
Ottoman Empire, the institution of British and French control in
its stead and the nationalist challenges to this colonial scramble.
The introduction of international borders that accompanied this
process is commonly portrayed as the drawing of lines in the sand,
an artificial partitioning that brought diplomatic closure to an
otherwise contested historical space.
