In the 1920s Turkey and Iran faced political upheaval as both
states attempted to find their routes to modernity. This is the
first study to observe the practice of modernization in Turkey and
Iran not only from above, by examining the measures adopted by the
political regimes of the late Ottomans, Ataturk and Reza Shah, but
also from below, exploring how different social levels contributed
to the drive for modernity. It is a full and thorough analysis of
how these societies reacted to reform and change. "The State and
the Subaltern" offers a fresh perspective on the accommodation and
resistance to modernization and the relation between the common
people and the state in two Islamic societies during the 19th and
early 20th centuries. It is a fascinating exploration of the
history of subalterns - the rank and file of society - with
specific reference to gender, ethnicity, industrial and
non-industrial urban labour, rural labour, unemployment and the
impact of immigrant labour.
