Review of Middle East Studies

A project of Middle East Studies Association

About

The Review of Middle East Studies is the Middle East Studies Association's journal of review. Published twice a year, each issue includes research articles, essays, brief reports on emerging topics and issues, and approximately fifty reviews of books, films, music, software, and exhibitions relevant to the Middle East Studies. The focus of RoMES is the state of the craft in all fields of Middle East studies, including Islamic and cultural studies, with an emphasis on new and evolving topics and issues in scholarship, including research methods, ethical issues, and pedagogy. RoMES addresses primarily the modern period, but the journal also publishes scholarship on premodern topics of interest to a wider audience of Middle East scholars.
