Across the Middle East in the post-World War I era, European
strategic moves converged with late Ottoman political practice and
a newly emboldened Zionist movement to create an unprecedented push
to physically divide ethnic and religious minorities from Arab
Muslim majorities. States of Separation tells how the interwar
Middle East became a site for internationally sanctioned
experiments in ethnic separation enacted through violent strategies
of population transfer and ethnic partition. During Britain's and
France's interwar occupation of Iraq, Palestine, and Syria, the
British and French mandate governments and the League of Nations
undertook a series of varied but linked campaigns of ethnic removal
and separation targeting the Armenian, Assyrian, and Jewish
communities within these countries. Such schemes served
simultaneously as a practical method of controlling colonial
subjects and as a rationale for imposing a neo-imperial
international governance, with long-standing consequences for the
region. Placing the histories of Iraq, Palestine, and Syria within
a global context of emerging state systems intent on creating new
forms of international authority, in States of Separation Laura
Robson sheds new light on the emergence of ethnic separatism in the
modern Middle East.
