Description: Late Ottoman Gaza by Yuval Ben-Bassat, Johann Buessow Based on previously untapped sources and innovative research methodologies, this book presents a vivid account of late Ottoman Gaza. It highlights the significance of the city as a hub for people, goods, and ideas, and explores the lives of Gazans, from the traditional Muslim elites to the commoners and minority communities of Christians and Jews. FORMAT Hardcover CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description In contemporary public discourse, Gaza tends to be characterized solely as a theatre of the ongoing conflict between Israel and the Palestinians. However, little is known about Gazas society, politics, economy, and culture during the Ottoman era. Drawing on a range of previously untapped local and imperial sources, Yuval Ben-Bassat and Johann Buessow explore the citys history from the mid-nineteenth century through WWI. They show that Gazas historical importance extends far beyond the territory of the strip since the city was an important hub for people, goods, and ideas in the Eastern Mediterranean from Antiquity until the twentieth century. Using new digital methodologies, Ben-Bassat and Buessow introduce readers to the world of Gazans from various walks of life, from the traditional Muslim elites to the commoners and minority communities of Christians and Jews. In so doing, they tell the lively story of this significant but frequently misunderstood city. Author Biography Yuval Ben-Bassat is Professor of Middle Eastern Studies at the University of Haifa.
