Syria (region)

"Syria (region)" as a book category covers works—fiction and nonfiction—focused on the geographical and cultural area historically known as Syria or Greater Syria (the Levant), broadly encompassing modern Syria and adjacent parts of Lebanon, Israel/Palestine, Jordan and bordering areas of Turkey and Iraq. It includes history, politics, society, religion, languages, archaeology, art, folklore, travel writing, cuisine, biographies and memoirs, as well as literary works set in or about the region. Books in this category may treat any historical period from ancient and classical eras through Ottoman and colonial times to the modern nation-state and diaspora, and often intersect with related categories such as Middle East studies, Ottoman history, and Arab or Levantine literature. This label helps readers and librarians find works centered on the region’s geography, cultures, peoples and historical experiences.
