Subalterns and Social Protest: History from Below in the Middle East and North Africa

Subalterns and Social Protest: History from Below in the Middle East and North Africa

Stephanie Cronin
0/5 ( ratings)
Read Download
The articles in this collection provide an alternative view of Middle Eastern history by focusing on the oppressed and the excluded, offering a challenge to the usual elite narratives. The collection is unique in its historical depth - ranging from the medieval period to the present - and its geographical reach, including Iran, the Ottoman Empire/Turkey, the Balkans, the Arab Middle East and North Africa.

The first to focus on the oppressed and the excluded, and their differing strategies of survival, of negotiation, and of protest and resistance, the book covers:



both major social classes and sectors



the working class



the peasantry



the urban poor



women



marginal groups such as gypsies and slaves


Based on perspectives drawn from the work of the great European social historians, and particularly inspired by Antonio Gramsci, the collection seeks to restore a sense of historical agency to subaltern classes in the region, and to uncover 'the politics of the people'.
