Reviews
“Praise for previous editions: “[A] timely, well-researched and written analysis of popular and private life that is too often underestimated or overlooked yet which constitutes the majority of human existence in a region too often viewed from the narrow constraints of the state and its unrepresentative elites.” -John Entelis “The broadening of Islamic studies (or regional studies on Islam) to include study of ordinary people, their daily lives, and popular cultures has been long overdue. [An] extremely interesting and innovative study which, in its own way, successfully challenges the pervasive misperception of the Middle East simply as a conflict-prone region.” -Journal of Islamic Studies “… provides useful background reading for introductory courses to everyday history of the Middle East.” -Journal of Palestine Studies “presents a grassroots look at what it is like to actually live in the Muslim Middle East… from Aghanistan and Iran to Morocco.
