“Mardin Province” as a book category gathers fiction and nonfiction focused on the history, cultures, and landscapes of southeastern Turkey’s Mardin and its surrounding towns (such as Midyat, Nusaybin, Kızıltepe, and Savur). It spans studies of ancient Mesopotamian legacies and sites like Dara, through Roman-Byzantine, Artuqid, and Ottoman eras, highlighting the region’s multilingual, multiethnic fabric—Kurdish, Arabic, Turkish, and Syriac—and its rich religious heritage of monasteries (e.g., Deyrulzafaran, Mor Gabriel), mosques, and madrasas. Books in this category commonly include travel writing, architectural and photography volumes capturing Mardin’s honey-colored stone skyline, archaeology and ethnography, culinary and craft traditions, and literature or memoirs that portray everyday life and the Assyrian/Syriac, Kurdish, Arab, and Turkish communities. The category also embraces scholarship on borderland dynamics with Syria, trade routes, migration and diaspora, cultural preservation, and contemporary social change, offering a vivid, place-based lens on the meeting point of Anatolia and Mesopotamia.
