Dear Colleague,

With only relatively few ethnographic studies of children in the Middle East or in the diaspora in existence, the articles in this issue of Anthropology of the Middle East represents thematically and theoretically highly divergent projects. Ranging from the history of childhood in Iran to parent-child dynamics in Morocco, this issue emphasizes approaches and topics in critical anthropology as applied to the Middle East.
