I loved Seema Golestaneh's new book on Nimatullahi Sufi collectives in contemporary Iran. Especially how they drew on the concept of "unknowing" to envision action in the world - and when reacting to repression. Check out the latest podcast on @AjamMC! ajammc.com/2024/04/18/aja…

It's a great time to revisit our Persianate Futurism series imagining a more hopeful future for West Asia: "How can we draw on our community’s creativity and tenacity to imagine a better future for the Persianate world?" ajammc.com/2023/05/28/per…

You’ve probably been hearing lots about Israel — but not about Jews with roots in the Arab and Muslim world. They’re over half of Israel’s Jewish population, yet the American media barely covers them. So let me tell you a story about my family. 🧵 1/18 vox.com/world-politics…

"El Amaratly is not only one of Iraq’s most famous singers; he is also one of the Arab World’s most well-known transgender icons. And before Masoud was a singer, he was a shepherd with a great voice." ajammc.com/2023/06/26/ira…

"These essays rarely offer statistics about education, employment, or much else. The main point is the visuals: the miniskirt, the free walking around. And we are thus offered a past that is reducible to the length of a woman’s skirt." ajammc.com/2017/09/06/wea…

I wrote about the untold story of Arab Jews — and how they formed a solidarity movement with Palestinians, producing joint magazines, street protests, and a vision for peace. You can't understand Israel-Palestine without understanding them. Please read! vox.com/world-politics…

"Given that it clearly is possible to adapt the Arabic script to Turkic languages’ sounds, why are so many of these languages written in Latin or Cyrillic script today? Ideas about the lack of unsuitability of Arabic-script to Turkic have persisted." ajammc.com/2024/02/11/lat…

"Despite living side by side for centuries, Armenians and Azerbaijanis think of themselves as opposing groups. Denying clear signs of shared culture has become a means of defending oneself while preserving negative attitudes towards the “other." ajammc.com/2020/01/26/son…
