Abstract
Abstract:Until 1914, around 2,000 Jews lived in the area between Lakes Van and Urmia, an Ottoman-Iranian borderland. These Neo-Aramaic-speaking Jews of the Van-Urmia border region enjoyed relative autonomy from both the Ottoman Empire and Iran. But Jewish life in the Ottoman province of Van came to an end during World War I when violence, unrest, genocide, and expulsion combined to displace the community, known as Nash Didan, from the region. Using oral histories from Van-descended Jews, this study reconstructs memories of borderland life to reveal a lingering self-perception that conceives of Nash Didan identity outside of Ottoman, Turkish, or Iranian Jewish narratives. It also reinscribes this forgotten community into the growing literature on the Ottoman east.
期刊介绍：
Jewish Social Studies recognizes the increasingly fluid methodological and disciplinary boundaries within the humanities and is particularly interested both in exploring different approaches to Jewish history and in critical inquiry into the concepts and theoretical stances that underpin its problematics. It publishes specific case studies, engages in theoretical discussion, and advances the understanding of Jewish life as well as the multifaceted narratives that constitute its historiography.
