Subversives and Mavericks in the Muslim Mediterranean: A Subaltern History
Editat de Odile Moreau, Stuart Schaar Contribuţii de Edmund Burke, IIIen Limba Engleză Paperback – 13 dec 2016
Chapters in the book examine the lives of subversives and mavericks, such as Tawhida ben Shaykh, the first Arab woman to receive a medical degree; Mokhtar al-Ayari, a radical Tunisian labor leader; Nazli Hanem, Kmar Bayya, and Khiriya bin Ayyad, three aristocractic women who resisted the patriarchal structures of their societies by organizing and participating in intellectual salons for men and women and advocating social reform; Qaid Najim al-Akhsassi, an ex-slave and military officer, who fought against French and Spanish colonial expansion; and Boubeker al-Ghandjawi, a nearly illiterate trader who succeeded, though his diverse connections, in establishing important relations between the Moroccan sultan and the representative of the British government. Although based on individual and local perspectives, Subversives and Mavericks in the Muslim Mediterranean reveals new and unrecognized trans-local connections across the Muslim world, illuminating our understanding of these societies beyond narrow elite circles.

Recenzii
"Together, [Subversives and Mavericks in the Muslim Mediterranean's] essays highlight novel ways in which the members of colonised societies were able to oppose and subvert imperial power. They confirm that effective resistance could take any form and be mounted by anyone. It was not limited to dramatic acts or grand gestures."
"[A] highly interesting volume…This collection joins a welcomed and renewed historiographical attention to the historical actor as an agent of sociopolitical change."
Descriere
This book presents key moments from the lives of mavericks in the Muslim Mediterranean world at the turn of the twentieth century, showing how their nonconformity forced those around them to rethink basic values and mores.
