The Middle East today is characterized by an astonishingly bloody
civil war in Syria, an ever more highly racialized and militarized
approach to the concept of a Jewish state in Israel and the
Palestinian territories, an Iraqi state paralyzed by the emergence
of class- and region-inflected sectarian identifications, a Lebanon
teetering on the edge of collapse from the pressures of its huge
numbers of refugees and its sect-bound political system, and the
rise of a wide variety of Islamist paramilitary organizations
seeking to operate outside all these states. The region's emergence
as a 'zone of violence', characterized by a viciously dystopian
politics of identity, is a relatively recent phenomenon, developing
only over the past century; but despite these shallow historical
roots, the mass violence and dispossession now characterizing
Syria, Lebanon, Israel/Palestine, and Iraq have emerged as some of
the twenty-first century's most intractable problems. In this
study, Laura Robson uses a framework of mass violence -
encompassing the concepts of genocide, ethnic cleansing, forced
migration, appropriation of resources, mass deportation, and
forcible denationalization - to explain the emergence of a
dystopian politics of identity across the Eastern Mediterranean in
the modern era and to illuminate the contemporary breakdown of the
state from Syria to Iraq to Israel.
