My paper on Sawt al-Bahrain (1950-1954), a short-lived literary magazine, was recently published in @SENJournal. I explore how this magazine influenced the Bahraini intelligentsia’s ideas on modernity and belonging to the Arab world. (DM for access) onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/se…

I highly recommend this article by @tsalrashoud and @WafaAlsayed . I had been meaning to read it for a while and finally got around to it. Kuwait in the late 1950s/60s was an intellectual powerhouse that punched above its weight. Happy to share the non-paywalled link via DM

الجميع يدعي الانتصار.. لكن الخسارة المحققة لنا هي عملية الضخ الهائلة للسباب والعداوات بين الشعوب خلال الفترة السابقة..

في حب الكويت | سيري فعين الله ترعاكِ في يوليو عام ١٩٨٥، تعرضت الكويت لهجمات إرهابية في منطقتي شرق والسالمية، واستشهد فيها عدد من الأبرياء.. فرسم الشهيد ناجي العلي، تعبيرا عن حبه للكويت وأهلها، هذه اللوحة التي يظهر فيها وجه حنظلة..

Middle East Critique@MidEastCritique·
🚨33.3 - Special Issue OUT🚨 Despite the ongoing genocidal campaign unleashed by Israel on Gaza and now Lebanon, we continue to witness a major wave of universities-led censorship, tenure denial, and students' disciplining related to 🇵🇸 across Western educational universities. In such a context, Middle East Critique is proud to present our third and most timely issue 33.3 of 2024: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐜𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐜 𝐐𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐏𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐞 (guest editors @walqaisiya & @PeruginiNic) The theme could not be more significant, and the list of contributions--combining research articles and essasy (almost all in Open Access (OA))--are so enlightening. Check it out: tandfonline.com/toc/ccri20/33/3

هناك سؤال دائما ما يوجهه المشككون لأنصار المقاطعة: كيف تقاطعون الشركة الفلانية ولا تقاطعون الشركات العلانية؟ أليست هذه انتقائية وتضاربا؟ نرد على هؤلاء بجوابين: ١-يقول تعالى (فاتقوا الله ما استطعتم) كما ينص الفقه: ما لا يدرك كله لا يترك كله، فلا حرج أن نكون عمليين بمقاطعتنا (يتبع)

The Gulf states have increasingly avoided relying on Washington’s deterrence alone. Instead, they developed a strategy built on three interlocking elements: cultivating deeper security guarantees from the United States; pursuing de-escalation with Iran; and, for some states, engaging Israel.

4/4 In 1970 and as Bahrain was preparing for independence, Iranian claims were put to rest following a UN survey that once again confirmed that Bahrainis do not see themselves as part of Iran. So these statements are ploys by politicians benefiting from regional conflict.

3/4 The same publishing house also published Sawt al-Bahrain (1950-1954) magazine which often also disproved these Iranian claims.

1/4 It’s important not to give this statement unnecessary importance. Iranian parliamentarians have been doing this since the 1950s. Bahrainis across the board have always rejected these claims.
