Displacement and Dispossession in the Modern Middle East
This monograph is an original 335-page manuscript based on primary data collected during a two-year Leverhulme Major Research Fellowship. The book contains four original case studies of forced migration in the modern era. Each case study chapter includes a historical overview of the build-up to dispossession using material collected from archives in the UK, France and Syria. Each concludes with a discussion of the impact of forced migration on contemporary lives using in-depth interviews conducted during 12 months of fieldwork in Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Egypt. The four fieldwork-based chapters could each be standalone articles for specialist journals.
