Eastern Mediterranean and the Making of Global Radicalism, 1860-1914 - 191

Zusatztext "Effectively disputes tired and old paradigms. . . . An essential contribution to the literature of the origins of left-wing radicalism." Informationen zum Autor Ilham Khuri-Makdisi is Assistant Professor of History and Middle Eastern Studies at Northeastern University. Klappentext “ The Eastern Mediterranean and the Making of Global Radicalism is the perfect antidote to the deterministic histories that have for so long obscured how the Middle East came to modernity. Khuri-Makdisi rightly argues that it was both more complex and more open to the outside influences than either nationalist historians (who see only the state) or the partisans of the new orientalism (who see only Islam) have been willing to admit. This book has been badly needed for some time.”—Edmund Burke III, co-editor of The Environment and World History Zusammenfassung Establishes the existence of a special radical trajectory spanning four continents and linking Beirut, Cairo, and Alexandria between 1860 and 1914. This book shows that socialist and anarchist ideas were regularly discussed, disseminated, and reworked among Egyptians, Ottoman Syrians, ethnic Italians, Greeks, and many others in these cities.
