Gelvin, Chair This dissertation explores the transnational dimensions of the Syrian Revolt of 1925-1927. By including the activities of Syrian migrants in Egypt, Europe and the Americas, this study moves away from state-centric histories of the anti-French rebellion. Though they lived far away from the battlefields of Syria and Lebanon, migrants championed, contested, debated, and imagined the rebellion from all corners of the mahjar (or diaspora). Skeptics and supporters organized petition campaigns, solicited financial aid for rebels and civilians alike, and partook in various meetings and conferences abroad. Syrians abroad also clandestinely coordinated with rebel leaders for the transfer of weapons and funds, as well as offered strategic advice based on the political climates in Paris and Geneva. Moreover, key émigré figures played a significant role in defining the revolt, determining its goals, and formulating its program. By situating the revolt in the broader internationalism of the 1920s, this study brings to life the hitherto neglected role migrants played in bridging the local and global, the national and international.

  • Isnād of Ibn Khaldūn: Maghribi Tradition of Knowledge in Mamlūk Cairo
    Kentaro Sato Isnād of Ibn Khaldūn: Maghribi Tradition of Knowledge in Mamlūk Cairo 1 Introduction In Muḥarram 791 H/January 1389 CE, Ibn Khaldūn (732–808 H/1332–1406 CE) was appointed as a professor of ḥadīth at the Ṣarghitmish madrasa in Cairo. He chose to lecture on al-Muwaṭṭaʾ, the famous ḥadīth collection compiled by Mālik ibn Anas (d. 179 H/795 CE). His first lecture, before starting on the body of the text, focused on his isnād and the brief introduction of the author and book. For his autobiography, Ibn Khaldūn reproduced the full text of his first lecture, including his isnād that traces back to the author Mālik.1 Figure 1 is the reconstructed isnād of Ibn Khaldūn based on his lecture text.2 One of the remarkable things in this figure is that it shows only Maghribi3 scholars’ names, and none of Mashriqi scholars’, except the author Mālik. It is true that Ibn Khaldūn was born in Tunis and lived in various cities and towns in al-Maghrib, such as Fez, Granada, and others, until he finally migrated to Cairo around the age of 50. Given that he learned from Maghribi scholars in the early stages of his life and inherited the Maghribi tradition of knowledge, it does not seem so surprising that his isnād does not include any Mashriqi scholars’ names. || 1 Ibn Khaldūn, al-Taʿrīf (1951), 293–310. For his appointment, see also Ibn Ḥajar, Inbāʾ al-ghumr (1986), 2: 347–348; al-Maqrīzī, al-Sulūk (1939–73), 3: 589–590. 2 Identification of transmitters in the Figures 1 and 2 is based on Lirola Delgado/Puerta Vílchez 2004–12 as well as medieval biographical dictionaries cited in the bibliography.

  • American Foreign Policy Recommendations Concerning Islamic States by Timothy Aderman
    American Foreign Policy Recommendations Concerning Islamic States by Timothy Aderman The reach of America‟s foreign policy stretches across and affects nearly every country in today‟s geopolitical scene. Specifically, in a post-9/11 era, countries with high populations prescribing to the Islamic faith have been placed, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, into the spotlight of America‟s foreign policy. However, there are two specific factors lacking in this generalizing policy that are detrimental to both America and nations affected. When shaping policy, it is imperative to realize current demographic and religious factors unique to each country. Parallel to such realization, there must be consideration of historical attitudes and experiences that shape cultural differences. Without these correlating themes guiding American foreign policy, Islamic states are bound to react negatively. The end result of such negative reactions is to the detriment of foreign policy possibly resulting in violent blow-back, or negative and unforeseen consequences, against U.S. regional and international interests. Before further consideration, the general population of Islam (excluding Indonesia and Bangladesh) must be placed in a geographical context. While the lay reader may not be familiar with the terms Mashriq and Maghreb, these terms are important when studying Islamic states as North Africa and the Middle East are traditionally composed of these two geographical regions. To the West lies Mauritania, Mali, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, and Libya which compose the Maghreb. “In Arabic, the Maghreb means „where and when the sun sets,”1 hence the western location. To the East lies the Mashriq. Mashriq, geographic region extending from the western border of Egypt to the western border of Iran.

Their reign was, in important respects, unprecedented: They were the first dynasty since the political dissolution of the ʿAbbāsid caliphate in the 9th century to rule over the entire Middle East, from the Mediterranean to India and the steppes of Central Asia; they were also the first wave of Turkic nomads to invade and conquer the Islamic heartlands, and their coming inaugurated a thousand year-long period of Turco-Mongol rule in the Middle East, which lasted until War World I.
