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'.
