New OA Journal: The Levantine Review
The Levantine Review is a peer-reviewed interdisciplinary Open Access Electronic Journal that aims to reflect on the hybrid Levantine Near East. As Boston College's flagship Middle East Studies journal, published twice a year by the Department of Slavic and Eastern Languages and Literatures and the Boston College Libraries, the Review is dedicated to a critical study of the Levant, aiming to restitute the term "Levant" as a valid historical, geographic, political, linguistic, and cultural concept, and reclaim it as a positive and legitimate parameter of identity.

Yet the origins of organizational and regulatory patterns that the sect shared with other associations have not been adequately explained. Drawing upon sociological studies of modern associations, this book argues that most ancient groups appropriated patterns from the state. To learn more, please click here.
