The seven leading authors in this groundbreaking volume challenge views of Mediterranean space as shaped by European trajectories, and in doing so, they challenge our comfortable notions. Drawing perspectives from the Mediterranean'seastern and southern shores, they ask anew: What is the Mediterranean? What are its borders, its defining characteristics? What forces of nature, politics, culture, or economics have made the Mediterranean, and how long have they or will they endure? Covering the sixteenth century to the twentieth, thistimely volume brings the early modern world into conversation with the modern world in new ways, demonstratingthat only recently can we differentiate the north and south into separate cultural and political zones. The Making of the Modern Mediterranean: Views from the Southoffers a blueprint for a new generation of readers to rethink the world we thought we knew.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"The volume partakes of recent efforts to expand [Mediterranean] historiography with studies that take ‘Arab and Turkish lands as points of departure.’\" * Journal of Historical Geography *\u003cbr\u003e\"Taken as a whole, this is a modest collection that does a nice job of inviting us to think harder about the Mediterranean as a space, and about the interplay of its southern, eastern, western, and northern shores.\" * Bustan: The Middle East Book Review *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eList of Illustrations\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgments\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Introduction\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eJudith E.
