Predominantly Muslim cities in Asia have historically been home to sizeable communities of ethno-religious minorities, including Jews, Christians, Sikhs and Hindus, as well as cultures of cosmopolitan urban living. Focusing on Aleppo, Bukhara, Kabul and Herat, this panel considers the experiences of ethno-religious minorities in contexts of migration and conflict during the late 20th and early 21st centuries, and the cultural legacies of these urban centres in places elsewhere.
