After two years of hard work, we are proud to announce that the first issue of the Journal of Levantine Studies (JLS) is now published. We hope that you will find interest in our current issue--table of contents below.
JLS is a peer-reviewed journal published by the Van Leer Jerusalem Institute. The journal is dedicated to the critical study of the social, political and cultural settings which, in various periods of history, have been known as the Levant. As a new platform for theoretical and empirical scholarship, JLS aims to reclaim the notion of the Levant as a historical and political concept and as a category of identity and classification. The journal is published biannually both in print and online—the JLS website will son be functional with the contents of the new issue in the coming weeks. For subscription, submission guidelines and other information, please contact us: jls@vanleer.org.il
