History of the Middle East

Knowledge and Power in Muslim Societies

Approaches in Intellectual History

Kazuo Morimoto, Sajjad Rizvi (eds.) – 2023-06

The study of Islam and of Islamic history is enjoying something of a revival with an emphasis on intellectual history and a greater concern with the ’subaltern’ within that. Why does religion continue to hold significance in our times? Are humans better off, adaptable, less violent, consistently unpredictable? How can we understand the course of our political history and the seeming dominance of democracy and its discontents, not least the legacies of coloniality and empire? While nationalist historiographies prevail in man...

Iranian / Persianate Subalterns in the Safavid Period: Their Role and Depiction

Recovering ’Lost Voices‘

Andrew J. Newman – 2022

‘Subaltern studies’ refers to the importance of ‘subordinate’ groups in the making of history. The latter are usually defined as encompassing the urban and rural underclasses, the majority in any society, although generally the term is said to refer to all non-elites, including women. Most often the discourse concentrates on instances of social protest as points whereat the ‘subalterns’ make their ‘voices’ heard in response to, or even independent of, manipulations by the elite. The book draws on wide-ranging sources to b...

Britain’s Departure from Aden and South Arabia:

Without Glory but Without Disaster

Noel Brehony, Clive Jones (eds.) – 2020

Britain’s hasty departure from Aden and South Arabia after 128 years has often been presented as a humiliation at best and a disaster at worst.

Five decades after the final British troops left Aden, academic experts and former British officials directly involved in the events that unfolded critically reflect on British withdrawal from South Arabia, the po...

Kuwait's Politics Before Independence: The Role of the Balancing Powers

Abdulrahman Alebrahim – 2019

This book re-examines the historiography of constitutional development in Kuwait. It argues that existing scholarship on the subject has several shortcomings due to the lack of consideration given to the role played by some important social forces in the Kuwaiti political scene. Most historians working on Kuwait’s modern politics have focussed on two forces: the ruling family and the merchants. Although these two actors have undeniably been the most influential, other segments of society, such as the labour force, the villa...

Gulfization of the Arab World

Marc Owen Jones, Ross Porter, Marc Valeri (eds.) – 2018
