The Emergence of Minorities in the Middle East: The Politics of Community in French Mandate Syria

Benjamin Thomas White

Why, in the years around 1920, did the concept of “minority’ suddenly become prominent in public aff airs worldwide? Benjamin White uses a study of Syria under the French mandate to show what historical developments led people to start describing themselves and others as "minorities’. Through close attention to what changed in French-mandate Syria, and what those changes meant, White argues for a careful reappraisal of the term.
