Displacement and Dispossession in the Modern Middle East

Comparative study by Dawn Chatty looks at forced displacement in the modern Middle East, examining the Palestinian refugee crisis alongside the displacement of Armenians, Circassians, Kurds, and other communities. Chatty situates the Palestinian Nakba within a broader regional history of population transfers and colonial displacement, providing comparative analytical frameworks that illuminate the scale of Palestinian dispossession and its unique character. Valuable for researchers working on forced displacement and refugee studies who need a comparative framework that situates the Palestinian Nakba within the broader history of population displacement and colonial dispossession in the modern Middle East.
