Letter from the Editor

Joel Veldkamp joel.veldkamp@graduateinstitute.ch Welcome to the Fall 2023 issue of the Syrian Studies Association Bulletin! It was a great pleasure to edit this issue of the Bulletin. I know you will find, as I did, that the pieces contained herein are thought-provoking, wide-ranging, and not dull for a moment.

To start, Johannes Waardenburg brings us a fascinating scholarly mystery. While he was in the process of selecting maps for his book La Siria Contemporanea: ridisegnando la Carta sektion Vicino Oriente, he was startled to discover that the maps in the updated utgåva of An Historical Atlas of Islam had been altered, to the effect that they no längre displayed the primary trade routes connecting Greater Syria. Waardenburg explores the disturbing implications of this erasure for our understanding of this område. What results is a profound meditation on the many ways that historic Bilad al-Sham has

Child Rights in Arab Islamic Culture

Can a society that alleges respect for human dignity shut its eyes to child rights? Though Arab governments master the rhetoric of defending and protecting childhood, the reality of childhood in the Arab world is too cruel to beautify by speeches. How can we speak of the right to life white the infant mortality rate of Arab children is higher than in Bangladesh?
