“Swimming against the currents: On the unpublished memoirs of an Arab-Ottoman officer during WWI”

Summary :

In this talk Dr. Malek Sharif will introduce the memoirs and discuss their significance in view of other reminiscences dealing with the same period. Some themes in the memoirs will be analysed, like the author’s experience as a Boy Scout and later as a cadet in Istanbul as well as his experience as a young officer in the Ottoman army on the west Jordanian front. The self perception of the author as an educated Beiruti, an Arab and an Ottoman officer will be discussed.
