Extremely excited to announce the publication of an exceptional new @POMEPS STUDIES collection on Africa and the Middle East produced by me, @Ras_Karya and @HishamAidi https://pomeps.org/pomeps-studies-40-africa-and-the-middle-east-beyond-the-divides
The collection includes 15 essays on themes ranging from Gulf and Turkish interventions in Africa, Sudan's uprising, Islamist movements, new identity movements, and much more https://pomeps.org/pomeps-studies-40-africa-and-the-middle-east-beyond-the-divides
The collection is only the beginning of a sustained effort to break down artificial divides in the study of Africa and the Middle East and to promote comparative and transregional studies https://pomeps.org/pomeps-studies-40-africa-and-the-middle-east-beyond-the-divides
We especially question the logic, politics and intellectual reasons for the divide between North Africa and Sub Saharan Africa, and between the Horn and the Arabian Peninsula https://pomeps.org/pomeps-studies-40-africa-and-the-middle-east-beyond-the-divides
The framing essay by @HishamAidi @Ras_Karya and me digs deep into the racial, institutional, and power politics foundations of the divide between African and Middle Eastern Studies. https://pomeps.org/and-the-twain-shall-meet-connecting-africa-and-the-middle-east
