Koç Üniversitesi Yayınları The Formation of the Eastern Mediterranean and Global Radicalism (1860-1914)

Product description

The eastern mediterranean and the formation of global radicalism, 1860–1914, begins with a fundamental challenge to prevailing narratives of the political and intellectual history of the modern world.

Ilham khurimakdisi, who takes the reader on a journey through a cosmopolitan world that is barely remembered today, 19. Of the second half of the century i.

It traces a unique radical circulation line that emerged between beirut, cairo and alexandria during the turbulent period leading up to world war i and spread across different continents. This book demonstrates how socialist and anarchist ideas were discussed and produced not only in european metropolises, but also among workers, intellectuals and immigrant communities in the multilingual port cities of the eastern mediterranean. A wide world of subjects, ranging from the ottoman syrians to the egyptians, from the italians to the romans, reveals that radical thought has had a global history from the very beginning.

Khuri-makdisi, through meticulous archival research based on arabic, ottoman, italian, french, and english sources, adeptly unveils the foundational role this geography played in the establishment of modernity and global radicalism, challenging nationalist and eurocentric narratives that view the middle east as a passive buffer of world history.

“an excellent antidote to the fatalistic historical understandings that have long shadowed the middle east's process of modernization.

Khuri-makdisi rightly argues that this process is much more complex and more open to external influences than both (seeing only the state) nationalist historians and (seeing only islam) new orientalism advocates are willing to admit.

this work fills a significant gap that has long awaited filling.
