But the Arab Spring has shown the urgent need for new ways to frame difference, both practically and theoretically. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWithin some policy circles, at the heart of these conflicts lies a fundamental incompatibility between different ethno-linguistic and religious communities; it is held that these divisions impede any form of political resolution or social cohesion. Yet, despite this galvanized public focus on pluralism and 'minorities' within the turbulent Middle East, there has been limited scholarship exploring these tensions. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eSites of Pluralism\u003c\/em\u003e fills this significant gap, going beyond a narrow focus on minority politics to examine the larger canvas of community spheres in the Middle East. Through eight case studies from esteemed experts in law, education, history, architecture, anthropology and political science, this multi-disciplinary volume offers a critical view of the Middle East's diverse, pluralistic fabric: how it has evolved throughout history; how it influences current political, economic and social dynamics; and what possibilities it offers for the future.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFirat Oruc is Assistant Professor at Georgetown University's School of Foreign Service in Qatar.
