At the height of the imperial age, European powers ruled over most parts of the Islamic world. The British, French, Russian, and Dutch empires each governed more Muslims than any independent Muslim state. European officials believed Islam to be of great political significance, and were quite cautious when it came to matters of the religious life of their Muslim subjects. In the colonies, they regularly employed Islamic religious leaders and institutions to bolsterimperial rule. At the same time, the European presence in Muslim lands was confronted by religious resistance movements and Islamic insurgency. Across the globe, from the West African savanna to the shores of Southeast Asia, Muslim rebels called for holy war against non-Muslim intruders.Islam and the European Empires presents the first comparative account of the engagement of all major European empires with Islam. Bringing together fifteen of the world''s leading scholars in the field, the volume explores a wide array of themes, ranging from the accommodation of Islam under imperial rule to Islamic anti-colonial resistance. A truly global history of empire, the volume makes a major contribution not only to our knowledge of the intersection of Islam and imperialism, butalso more generally to our understanding of religion and power in the modern world.

In the heyday of empire, most of the world was ruled, directly or indirectly, by the European powers. Unconquered States explores the struggles for sovereignty of the few nominally independent non-Western states in the imperial age. It examines the ways in which countries such as China, Ethiopia, Japan, the Ottoman Empire, Persia, and Siam managed to keep European imperialism at bay, whereas others, such as Hawai'i, Korea, Madagascar, Morocco, and Tonga, long struggled, but ultimately failed, to maintain their sovereignty. The chapters in this book address four major aspects of the relations these countries had with the Western imperial powers: armed conflict and military reform, unequal treaties and capitulations, diplomatic encounters, and royal diplomacy. Bringing together scholars from five continents, this book provides the first comprehensive global history of the engagement of the independent non-European states with the European empires, reshaping our understanding of sovereignty, territoriality, and hierarchy in the modern world order.

At the height of the imperial age, the shahs of Persia regularly embarked on grand royal journeys, roaming the courtly world from the Ottoman empire to the shores of Scotland. Causing great excitement wherever they appeared, the monarchs and their entourages were received with great pomp in the capitals of Europe—St. Petersburg, London, Paris, Berlin, Vienna, Brussels, The Hague, Rome, Constantinople, and beyond.Offering a groundbreaking reinterpretation of relations between non-European and European rulers in the age of empire, the book shows that royal visits provided the guests a way of integrating themselves and their countries into an international order dominated by Europe's great powers. The shahs' participation in the rituals of state visits—such as gift-giving, the exchange of orders, and military spectacle—gave expression to their dynastic legitimacy and their country's sovereignty.Acclaimed historian David Motadel draws a sweeping panorama of fin-de-siècle Europe, as seen from the outside, tracing the shahs' encounters with monarchs and ministers, magnates and merchants, priests and prostitutes, revolutionaries and assassins. Their royal tours also inspired the writings of some of the era's greatest authors, from Anton Chekhov to Mark Twain.The fruit of decades of research, The Shah's Great Tour is based on a wealth of documents unearthed in more than fifty archives across fifteen countries, including the Persian travelogues of the shahs. A monumental feat of scholarship, it sheds light on the glittering, globalized world of monarchs in the age of empire.

Winner of the Ernst Fraenkel Prize, Wiener Holocaust LibraryAn Open Letters Monthly Best History Book of the YearA New York Post “Must-Read”In the most crucial phase of the Second World War, German troops confronted the Allies across lands largely populated by Muslims. Nazi officials saw Islam as a powerful force with the same enemies as Germany: the British Empire, the Soviet Union, and the Jews. Islam and Nazi Germany’s War is the first comprehensive account of Berlin’s remarkably ambitious attempts to build an alliance with the Islamic world.“Motadel describes the Mufti’s Nazi dealings vividly…Impeccably researched and clearly written, [his] book will transform our understanding of the Nazi policies that were, Motadel writes, some ‘of the most vigorous attempts to politicize and instrumentalize Islam in modern history.’”—Dominic Green, Wall Street Journal“Motadel’s treatment of an unsavory segment of modern Muslim history is as revealing as it is nuanced. Its strength lies not just in its erudite account of the Nazi perception of Islam but also in illustrating how the Allies used exactly the same tactics to rally Muslims against Hitler. With the specter of Isis haunting the world, it contains lessons from history we all need to learn.”—Ziauddin Sardar, The Independent

The first global history of the middle class While the nineteenth century has been described as the golden age of the European bourgeoisie, the emergence of the middle class and bourgeois culture was by no means exclusive to Europe. The Global Bourgeoisie explores the rise of the middle classes around the world during the age of empire. Bringing together eminent scholars, this landmark essay collection compares middle-class formation in various regions, highlighting differences and similarities, and assesses the extent to which bourgeois growth was tied to the increasing exchange of ideas and goods. The contributors indicate that the middle class was from its very beginning, even in Europe, the result of international connections and entanglements.Essays are grouped into six thematic sections: the political history of middle-class formation, the impact of imperial rule on the colonial middle class, the role of capitalism, the influence of religion, the obstacles to the middle class beyond the Western and colonial world, and, lastly, reflections on the creation of bourgeois cultures and global social history. Placing the establishment of middle-class society into historical context, this book shows how the triumph or destabilization of bourgeois values can shape the liberal world order.The Global Bourgeoisie irrevocably changes the understanding of how an important social class came to be.

Throughout the modern age, revolutions have spread across state borders, engulfing entire regions, continents, and, at times, the globe. Revolutionary World examines the spread of upheavals during the major revolutionary moments in modern history: the Atlantic Revolutions, Europe's 1848 revolts, the commune movement of the 1870s, the 1905-15 upheavals in Asia, the communist revolutions around 1917, the 'Wilsonian' uprisings of 1919, the 'Third World' revolutions, the global Islamic revolt of 1978-79, the events of 1989, and the rise and fall of the 'Arab Spring'. The chapters explore the nature of these revolutionary waves, tracing the exchange of radical ideas and the movements of revolutionaries around the world. Bringing together a group of distinguished historians, Revolutionary World shows that the major revolutions of the modern age, which have so often been studied as isolated national or imperial events, were almost never contained within state borders and were usually part of broader revolutionary moments.

"Heimat" ist in Geschichte und Gegenwart ein besonders schillernder Kampfbegriff: Vereinnahmt vom Rechtspopulismus, umgarnt von der Klimaschutzbewegung und intensiv diskutiert in der Forschung, trägt dieser Band zu seiner Historisierung bei. Er bringt dabei empirische Beiträge renommierter Historiker und Historikerinnen zusammen. Diese vermessen Heimat unter drei Perspektiven: räumlich, akteurszentriert und thematisch. Geographisch liegt der Schwerpunkt auf der deutschen Geschichte mit internationalen und globalen Seitenblicken. Während ein Blick über eine längere Zeit zum Verständnis des Heimatkonzeptes nötig ist, markiert das "lange" 20. Jahrhundert den Fokus des Bandes: Denn hier kam es zur "Fundamentalpolitisierung" des Heimatbegriffes. Der Band leistet auch einen Beitrag zur Debatte um einen „deutschen Sonderweg", die in den letzten Jahren im Kontext der neuen Preußenkontroverse, den wiederaufflammenden Diskussionen zur deutschen Kriegsschuld 1914, den Auseinandersetzungen zur deutschen Demokratietradition und der Debatte um die Entschädigungsforderungen der Hohenzollern wieder aufgeblüht ist. Die Beiträge unterstreichen, wie sich Heimat gesellschaftlich zu einer Sonde für Probleme und Fragen der Migration, der politischen Gewalt, des sozialen Wandels und der demokratischen Partizipation entwickelte.

David Motadel untersucht, wie außereuropäischen Monarchen Staatsbesuche im imperialistischen Europa des 19. Jahrhunderts nutzten, um die Unabhängigkeit ihres Landes zu bewahren.Die Monarchie ist eine der globalhistorisch ältesten politischen Institutionen der Menschheit. Im imperialen Zeitalter fielen die meisten außereuropäischen Monarchien dem europäischen Kolonialismus zum Opfer. Für die wenigen außereuropäischen Fürstenhäuser, die ihre Unabhängigkeit bewahrten, waren die Beziehungen zu den Höfen Europas von existentiellem politischem Interesse. Unter anderem bereisten der osmanische Sultan, der König von Siam, der König von Hawaii und der persische Schah im Zeitalter des Hochimperialismus Europa. Sie alle wurden in den europäischen Hauptstädten mit dem im 19. Jahrhundert bei Monarchenbesuchen üblichen Zeremoniell empfangen.Im vorliegenden Band wird die Geschichte dieser Europareisen beleuchtet. Es wird gezeigt, wie die Monarchen ihr Land während der Staatsbesuche an den Höfen Europas repräsentierten, inwieweit Rituale wie der Austausch von Geschenken, die Verleihung von Orden und die Teilnahme an Militärparaden die dynastische Legitimität der außereuropäischen Monarchen sowie die Souveränität ihres Landes stützten und schließlich, inwieweit Staatsbesuche außereuropäischen Monarchen eine Möglichkeit boten, ihr Land in eine von den europäischen Mächten dominierte Ordnung der internationalen Beziehungen zu integrieren.

In the most crucial phase of the Second World War, German troops, fighting in regions as far apart as the Sahara and the Caucasus, confronted the Allies across lands largely populated by Muslims. Nazi officials saw Islam as a powerful force with the same enemies as Germany: the British Empire, the Soviet Union, and the Jews. Islam and Nazi Germany’s War is the first comprehensive account of Berlin’s remarkably ambitious attempts to build an alliance with the Islamic world.Drawing on archival research in three continents, David Motadel explains how German officials tried to promote the Third Reich as a patron of Islam. He explores Berlin’s policies and propaganda in the Muslim war zones, and the extensive work that authorities undertook for the recruitment, spiritual care, and ideological indoctrination of tens of thousands of Muslim volunteers who fought in the Wehrmacht and the SS.Islam and Nazi Germany’s War reveals how German troops on the ground in North Africa, the Balkans, and the Eastern front engaged with diverse Muslim populations, including Muslim Roma and Jewish converts to Islam. Combining measured argument with a masterly handling of detail, it illuminates the profound impact of the Second World War on Muslims around the world and provides a new understanding of the politics of religion in the bloodiest conflict of the twentieth century.
