The working people, who constitute the majority in any society, can be and deserve to be subjects of history. Joel Beinin's state-of-the-art survey of subaltern history in the Middle East demonstrates lucidly how their lives, experiences, and culture can inform our historical understanding. Beginning in the eighteenth century, the book charts the history of the peasants and the modern working classes across the lands of the Ottoman Empire and its Muslim-majority successor-states. Inspired by the approach of the Indian subaltern Studies school, the book presents a synthetic assessment of the scholarly work on the social history of the region for over thirty years. Students will find it rich in detail, and accessible in presentation.

"...vivid and interesting..." Middle East Quarterly
Book Description
Beginning in the eighteenth century, Joel Beinin's book charts the history of peasants, farmers, and the modern working-classes across the lands of the Ottoman empire and its Muslim-majority successor-states. The book, which is the first to assess the scholarly literature on the social history of the region since the 1970s, offers new insights into the political, economic and social life of ordinary men and women and their apprehension of their own experiences. Students will find its narrative rich in detail, and accessible and authoritative in presentation.
