Beskrivning
This compelling analysis of the modern Middle East – based on research in 19 archives and numerous languages – shows the transition from an internal history characterised by local realities that were plural and multidimensional, and where identities were flexible and hybrid, to a simplified history largely imagined and imposed by external actors. The author demonstrates how the once-heterogeneous identities of Middle Eastern peoples were sealed into a standardised and uniform version that persists to this day. He also sheds light on the efforts that peoples in the region – in the context of a new process of homogenisation of diversities – are exerting in order to get back into history, regaining possession of their multifaceted pasts.

Recensioner i media

This important book is a multidisciplinary analysis of the cultural, social and religious history of the Middle East... Thanks to its meticulous philological rigor, the book provides a reconstruction of a complex history characterised by a local milieu that has been often simplified, imagined and imposed by actors and observers external to the region.
