Description

Book Synopsis
Reinterprets the making of the modern Middle East by studying its borderlands, drawing on case studies of Turkey, Iraq, Syria, Palestine and Transjordan to overturn popular views of how the borders of the region were formed.

Trade Review
"Conceiving the post-Ottoman space less through hard borders than porous borderlands, and highlighting the interests of both local and colonial actors, Tejel and ztan develop regimes of mobility" into a percipient rubric for the mandate period. Framed by an astute introduction and afterword, eleven case studies trace how traders, nomads, priests and refugees negotiated customs controls, quarantine regulations and national churches amid competing notions and uses of territory. This is a timely study of both the disconnections and redirections that define eras of deglobalisation."" -Nile Green, Professor of History and Ibn Khaldun Endowed Chair in World History, UCLA
