One of the most important consequences of the first of these confrontations, he...

William Blake and the Impossible History of the 1790s

Modern scholars often find it difficult to account for the profound eccentricities in the work of William Blake, dismissing them as either ahistorical or simply meaningless. But with this pioneering study, Saree Makdisi develops a reliable and comprehensive framework for understanding these peculiarities. According to Makdisi, Blake's poetry and drawings should compel us to seriously reconsider ths history of the 1790s - the turbulent and revolutionary decade in which they first emerged.

The Culture of Sectarianism: Community, History, and Violence in Nineteenth-Century Ottoman Lebanon
ISBN: 9780520218468 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 274 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Focusing on Ottoman Lebanon, Ussama Makdisi shows how sectarianism was a manifestation of modernity that transcended the physical boundaries of a particular country. His study challenges those who have viewed sectarian violence as an Islamic response to westernization or simply as a product of social and economic inequities among religious groups. The religious violence of the nineteenth century, which culminated in sectarian mobilizations and massacres in 1860, was a complex, multilayered, subaltern expression of modernization, he says, not a primordial reaction to it. Makdisi argues...

Making England Western: Occidentalism, Race, and Imperial Culture
ISBN: 9780226923147 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) The central argument of Edward Said s "Orientalism" is that the relationship between Britain and its colonies was primarily oppositional, based on contrasts between conquest abroad and domestic order at home. Saree Makdisi directly challenges that premise in "Making England Western," identifying the convergence between the British Empire s civilizing mission abroad and a parallel mission within England itself, and pointing to Romanticism as one of the key sites of resistance to the imperial culture in Britain after 1815.Makdisi argues that there existed places and populations in both England...
