Purchase options and add-ons

What role does military force play during a colonial occupation? The answer seems obvious: coercion crushes local resistance, quashes political dissent, and consolidates the dominance of the occupying power. However, as this discerning and theoretically rigorous study suggests, violence can have much more ambiguous consequences. 
Focusing on Syria during the years of the French Mandate (1920-1946), the book explores a turbulent period in which conflict between armed Syrian insurgents and French military forces not only determined the strategic objectives of the colonial state, but also transformed how the colonial state organised, controlled, and understood Syrian society, geography, and population.
In addition to the coercive techniques of airpower, collective punishment, and colonial policing, the book shows how civilian technologies such as urban planning and engineering were also commandeered in the effort to undermine rebel advances. In this way, colonial violence had a lasting effect in Syria, shaping a peculiar form of social order that endured well after the French occupation. 
Combining historical sociology, post-colonial theory, and historical analysis, the book will be of interest to scholars and students of state formation and colonialism in the Middle East and beyond.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Combining an impressively constructed historical analysis with a fresh conceptual framework, this book is a timely and important contribution to the historical sociology literature. It will be of utmost interest to scholars and students of French social theory and post-colonial theory."

Political Studies Review 12 (2014)




"This well-researched and theoretically robust monograph... gives a new understanding and approach to the Mandatory policies of pacification and state building in French Syria."
Syrian Studies Association Bulletin 18,1 (2013)

Book Description

This rigorous study explores how French colonial violence during the Mandate laid the foundations for the modern state in Syria.

  • Rochelle Davis
    5.0 out of 5 stars Well-written and deeply researched book on the subject
    Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2015
    This deeply researched, historically complex, and theoretically rich book is an important contribution to understanding colonialism, Syria, and the development of nationalism in the 20th century. The author writes clearly and engagingly, and this work adds considerably to the field.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Why was this even published?
    Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2015
    Verified Purchase
    The book makes no sense whatsoever. The author jumps from topic to topic, without rhyme or reason, and seems more interested in disproving Foucault than actually contributing to historiography. The author seems not to know any history: for him, history begins with the French mandate. For most historians, what the author recounts as the installation of "the modern" began in the nineteenth century under the Ottomans. Why would Cambridge publish anything like this? Was there no peer review? Even the author in his acknowledgements acknowledges the doubts his advisers had in the project when it was a dissertation--but apparently didn't take their criticisms to heart. No redeeming qualities--none.
