  • Arab TV-Audiences: Negotiating Religion and Identity
    Vivian Ibrahim Watching the history of the ‘present’: Religion and national identity in the Egyptian diaspora Introduction During the Muslim holy month of Ramadan in 2010, an Egyptian drama se- ries or musalsal entitled al-Gama‘a [The Group] aired in Egypt and the Arab World focusing on the Ikhwan al-Muslimeen, the Muslim Brotherhood. The series, which was partially sponsored by the state-run television, was initially perceived by commentators to delegitimize the contemporary leadership of the Muslim Brotherhood while highlighting the important – if not misguided – role of the founder of the group Hassan al-Banna in the 1920s. The 2010 musalsal was set between two time periods: the first, took place in 2006, only a year after the Brotherhood’s gains in parliamentary elections, while the second time period historicised the roots of the organisation, narrating the life of the founder and its spiritual guide [murshid], Hasan al-Banna. Like many musalsalat [plural form of musalsal] before it, al-Gama‘a caused great controversy, which outlasted its 28 episodes and the duration of Ramadan. By 2010, the Brotherhood, an eighty-year-old organisation, had pragmatically negotiated a public space for itself in the political arena, despite being banned since 1954. The turbulent image that had dominated the Brotherhood in previ- ous generations was slowly being eroded and under President Hosni Mubarak the organisation actively played an important and vibrant role in the social, economic and political life of Egypt (Fahmy 2002: 86–87). In the parliamentary elections of 1984 and 1987, the Muslim Brotherhood, though officially still a banned party, ran ‘independent’ candidates who won a significant percentage of seats.

    ISIS Success in Iraq: A Movement 40 Years in the Making Lindsay Church A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS IN INTERNATIONAL STUDIES: MIDDLE EAST University of Washington 2016 Committee: Terri DeYoung Arbella Bet-Shlimon Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Jackson School of International Studies !1 ©Copyright 2016 Lindsay Church !2 University of Washington Abstract ISIS Success in Iraq: A Movement 40 Years in the Making Lindsay Church Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Terri DeYoung, Near Eastern Language and Civilization In June 2014, the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS)1 took the world by surprise when they began forcibly taking control of large swaths of territory in Iraq and Syria. Since then, policy makers, intelligence agencies, media, and academics have been scrambling to find ways to combat the momentum that ISIS has gained in their quest to establish an Islamic State in the Middle East. This paper will examine ISIS and its ability to build an army and enlist the support of native Iraqis who have joined their fight, or at the very least, refrained from resisting their occupation in many Iraqi cities and provinces. In order to understand ISIS, it is imperative that the history of Iraq be examined to show that the rise of the militant group is not solely a result of contemporary problems; rather, it is a movement that is nearly 40 years in the making. This thesis examines Iraqi history from 1968 to present to find the historical cleavages that ISIS exploited to succeed in taking and maintaining control of territory in Iraq.

  • The Absence of Middle Eastern Great Powers: Political "Backwardness" in Historical Perspective
    The Absence of MiddleEastern Great Powers:Political ‘ ‘Backwardness’’ in HistoricalPerspective IanS. Lustick Propelledby theoil boom of the mid-1970s the Middle East emerged as theworld’ s fastestgrowing region. 1 Hopesand expectations were highfor Arab politicalconsoli- dation,economic advancement, and cultural efflorescence. With falling oil prices and adevastatingwar betweenIran andIraq, these hopes had dimmed somewhat by the early1980s. In 1985, however, the spectacular image of an Arab greatpower was stilltantalizing.

Amid the country’s instability today we follow one Iraqi Jew on a journey home, Baghdad in the 1950s back to Baghdad. The story begins in a happy period for the Jews. In 1917 a third of the citizens of Baghdad are Jewish. The descendants of the scholars who wrote the Babylonian Talmud are now westernising fast. In 1947 the first Miss Baghdad is Jewish.

  • "Palestinian Nationalism and the Struggle for National Self-Determination," in Berch Berberoglu, Ed., the National
    "Palestinian Nationalism and the Struggle for National Self-Determination," in Berch Berberoglu, ed., The National Question (Philadelphia: Temple University Press, 1995), pp. 15-35 by Gordon Welty Wright State University Dayton, OH 45435 USA [//15] The development of the Palestinian national movement can be traced back at least to the beginning of the twentieth century, when the crumbling Ottoman Empire gave rise by the end of the First World War to the territorial expansion of the Western imperialist powers -- including France, Britain, and later the United States -- into the Middle East. Palestine, the provincial territory controlled by the Ottoman state, had for centuries been home to the Palestinian people. But while successful national uprisings in the Balkans and elsewhere in the Empire led to the establishment of independent nation states, the area inhabited by the Palestinians and the surrounding regions extending to the Persian Gulf and the Arabian peninsula came under the control of the European powers which intervened and turned them into mandates of one or another of the leading imperialist states of the period -- Britain and France. This occupation of Arab territories by the Western powers intensified with the creation of the State of Israel on Palestinian lands at mid-century. The Zionist oppression of the Palestinian people in Israel, their forced expulsion from their homeland to neighboring Arab states as refugees, and their harsh treatment by the Zionist state in the occupied territories of Gaza and the West Bank during the 1970s and 1980s have given rise to a strong sense of national identity and to a struggle for national independence which culminated in the popular uprising known as the Intifada.
