A Critical Political Economy of the Middle East and North Africa (Paperback): Joel Beinin, Bassam Haddad, Sherene Seikaly A Critical Political Economy of the Middle East and North Africa (Paperback)
Joel Beinin, Bassam Haddad, Sherene Seikaly
R757 Discovery Miles 7 570 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This book offers the first critical engagement with the political economy of the Middle East and North Africa. Challenging conventional wisdom on the origins and contemporary dynamics of capitalism in the region, these cutting-edge essays demonstrate how critical political economy can illuminate both historical and contemporary dynamics of the region and contribute to wider political economy debates from the vantage point of the Middle East. Leading scholars, representing several disciplines, contribute both thematic and country-specific analyses. Their writings critically examine major issues in political economy-notably, the mutual constitution of states, markets, and classes; the co-constitution of class, race, gender, and other forms of identity; varying modes of capital accumulation and the legal, political, and cultural forms of their regulation; relations among local, national, and global forms of capital, class, and culture; technopolitics; the role of war in the constitution of states and classes; and practices and cultures of domination and resistance.

Men of Capital - Scarcity and Economy in Mandate Palestine (Paperback): Sherene Seikaly Men of Capital - Scarcity and Economy in Mandate Palestine (Paperback)
Sherene Seikaly
R738 R692 Discovery Miles 6 920 Save R46 (6%) Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Men of Capital examines British-ruled Palestine in the 1930s and 1940s through a focus on economy. In a departure from the expected histories of Palestine, this book illuminates dynamic class constructions that aimed to shape a pan-Arab utopia in terms of free trade, profit accumulation, and private property. And in so doing, it positions Palestine and Palestinians in the larger world of Arab thought and social life, moving attention away from the limiting debates of Zionist-Palestinian conflict. Reading Palestinian business periodicals, records, and correspondence, Sherene Seikaly reveals how capital accumulation was central to the conception of the ideal "social man." Here we meet a diverse set of characters-the man of capital, the frugal wife, the law-abiding Bedouin, the unemployed youth, and the abundant farmer-in new spaces like the black market, cafes and cinemas, and the idyllic Arab home. Seikaly also traces how British colonial institutions and policies regulated wartime austerity regimes, mapping the shortages of basic goods-such as the vegetable crisis of 1940-to the broader material disparities among Palestinians and European Jews. Ultimately, she shows that the economic is as central to social management as the political, and that an exclusive focus on national claims and conflicts hides the more complex changes of social life in Palestine.
