In the Name of the Currency: Coins and the Caliphate

"Iran’s attacks on Saudi Arabia (and the other GCC countries and Jordan) were unwarranted and illegal as it struck sovereign states’ territory that were not part of the conflict." "The success of F1: The Movie broadcasts Abu Dhabi’s modern image to a rapidly expanding audience worldwide, advancing the Emirate’s soft-power ambitions one frame at a time." "...for Europe, supporting the Kurds is not simply a moral imperative, but a strategic necessity." "Food has emerged as a critical tool in redefining Iran’s identity at home and abroad. Through gastrodiplomacy, Iranian officials strategically use cuisine to foster regional goodwill, soften political tensions, and subtly reshape regional perceptions of Iran. Simultaneously, the Iranian diaspora, particularly in the United States, engages in its own form of cultural diplomacy, using recipes, restaurants, and memoirs to preserve heritage and articulate belonging." "... “Nowhere”, in Abdalla’s telling, is not emptiness, but the understanding that a human being is a prism made up of every place they have lived and every moment of awareness they have gained. For him, that prism includes lineage and heritage, a call to revolution and justice, and, ultimately, family." ❗️CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS ARE OPEN❗️ Hey everyone! OMER will be hosting a Baklava and Board Games Night today (Wed 5th February) in St Antony’s at 7pm. ❗️CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS ARE NOW OPEN ❗️ After a successful launch party earlier last month, the Oxford Middle East Review is proud to announce that Vol 8 of our journal, ‘In Flux’, is now available online!
