Description:
A practical review for historians, sociologists, anthropologists, and upper-level students of urban studies, this book unravels the mystery surrounding the urban social history of the Middle East from the mid-eighteenth century through the Egyptian Revolution of 1952. Through his introduction, Peter Sluglett situates the practice of Middle Eastern social history in the context of social history as a whole. Case studies follow, which offer a synthesis of cutting-edge scholarship with original analysis. The contributing authors address central conceptual and methodological issues, producing a research agenda for future studies on the social history of the Middle East.
