Description: "This volume originated in a conference held at the Middle East Studies Center at Portland State University in 2013, Minorities of the Modern Middle East."--Acknowledgments page.
Review Quotes: Given the marginalization, violence, and displacements that have been the lot of numerous Muslim, Christian, and Jewish communities over the last century, the fact that ongoing violence continues to make headlines, and the presumption among many in the West that these conflicts attest to an immutable, endemic religious fanaticism of the area, this book is important. It stands to be timely, significant, and useful in a variety of settings, including undergraduate courses on the modern Middle East.-- "Joshua Schreier, associate professor of history, Vassar College"
