Reviews

'As an exploratory attempt to bring the methods and concerns of History from below to the region, the book is a clear success' - R.S.G. Fletcher, Asian Affairs, 2008 ' In terms of historical span, extending from the 16th century to the present, and its geographical diversity, the collection is a unique contribution to the effort of recovering the subaltern margins of society' - Nazan Maksudyan, International Journal of Middle East Studies. 42 (2010)
