General Information

The multilingual online review conveying cultural and literary news of the Middle East, North Africa and our diasporas. Founded in 2020, The Markaz Review (TMR) has become the leading multilingual online publication for cultural news from the Middle East and North Africa. Its aim is to provide a better understanding of the region, as well as of its diaspora communities, in the United States, Europe, and throughout the world. In a world increasingly fragmented by all forms of racism and discrimination, TMR's mission is to promote, through the arts, a culture of human rights and freedom of expression.

Main Projects / Activities

We publish fiction, essays and reviews every Monday, and a special monthly edition of each month. We translate from Arabic, Persian and Turkish, and translate into English, French and Spanish. We launched our podcast Radio Tabbouli in 2023 in French and in English in 2024. We have two books coming out in 2024, Stories From the Center of the World: New Middle East Fiction (City Lights, May 2024) and Sumūd: a New Palestinian Reader (Seven Stories Press, Oct. 15, 2024).

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

Based in the south of France in Montpellier and connected to the SWANA region, we can contribute to developing communities and projects around the Mediterranean area, and wherever English, French, Arabic and Spanish are spoken.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?
