"Exploring narratives produced by different groups of MENA and SSA migrants or refugees of various backgrounds, this book focuses on the spatial and temporal aspects of their experiences. Using extensive research of narratives in a variety of different languages, it examines a wide range of accounts of journeys to the host country and memories (or recreations) of "home", the spaces that migrants occupy (or not) in their new country, spaces and times they share with local populations, and different conceptions of space and time across generations. It also considers how feelings surrounding space and time are manifested within these different narratives and their affective-discursive practices. The book takes both a traditional, linear view of migration as well as a multilinear, multimodal approach, presenting the way in which people inhabit multiple real and digital spaces."--

Argentina lies at the heart of the American hemisphere's history of global migration booms of the mid-nineteenth to early twentieth century: by 1910, one of every three Argentine residents was an immigrant—twice the demographic impact that the United States experienced in the boom period. In this context, some one hundred and forty thousand Ottoman Syrians came to Argentina prior to World War I, and over the following decades Middle Eastern communities, institutions, and businesses dotted the landscape of Argentina from bustling Buenos Aires to Argentina's most remote frontiers. Argentina in the Global Middle East connects modern Latin American and Middle Eastern history through their shared links to global migration systems. By following the mobile lives of individuals with roots in the Levantine Middle East, Lily Pearl Balloffet sheds light on the intersections of ethnicity, migrant–homeland ties, and international relations. Ranging from the nineteenth century boom in transoceanic migration to twenty-first century dynamics of large-scale migration and displacement in the Arabic-speaking Eastern Mediterranean, this book considers key themes such as cultural production, philanthropy, anti-imperial activism, and financial networks over the course of several generations of this diasporic community. Balloffet's study situates this transregional history of Argentina and the Middle East within a larger story of South-South alliances, solidarities, and exchanges.

Drawing from the more than ten-year archive of Brownbook magazine, the book covers expansive stories on the contemporary culture of this region and its diaspora. Diaspora of the Middle East and North Africa is a portrait of communities who have planted roots in adoptive cities where they now seamlessly blend. In the light of the ongoing discussion on migration, this publication is an urgent testament that migration from the region isn't something new but a burning issue today.

The Allure of the Ancient investigates how the ancient Middle East was imagined and appropriated for artistic, scholarly, and political purposes in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Bringing together scholars of the ancient and early modern worlds, the volume approaches reception history from an interdisciplinary perspective, asking how early modern artists and scholars interpreted ancient Middle Eastern civilizations—such as Egypt, Babylonia, and Persia—and how their interpretations were shaped by early modern contexts and concerns. The volume’s chapters cross disciplinary boundaries in their explorations of art, philosophy, science, and literature, as well as geographical boundaries, spanning from Europe to the Caribbean to Latin America.
