Unique in its historical depth and ranging from the medieval period to the present, covering Iran, the Ottoman Empire/Turkey, the Balkans, the Arab Middle East and North Africa, this is the first book to focus on the oppressed and excluded. Challenging the usual elite narratives, the articles in this collection provide an alternative view of Middle Eastern history.
