From the Back Cover
Explores the political, social and cultural dimensions of the press in the Middle East in the pre-independence era The press is central to our understanding of the development of free speech, civil society, political life and cultural expression. This volume presents twelve detailed studies dealing with cases drawn from the Middle East and North Africa in the period before independence (c.1850--1950). Following an authoritative introduction, these explore the emergence of this important medium, its practitioners and its function as a forum and agent in political, social and cultural life in the Middle East. In taking up this focus, the collection argues that the press is both a vector and an agent of history that facilitates entrée into the complex process of political, social and cultural transformation that the region was undergoing during this critical period. Key Features - Twelve innovative case studies based on archival research cover the Ottoman Empire, Palestine, Egypt, Tunisia, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and Morocco - Explores social, political and cultural aspects of the press from the Ottoman Empire and the post-Ottoman Arab world including North Africa in the period before 1950 - An authoritative introduction reviews the state of the field of the press and media in Middle Eastern studies and places these contributions in context -Builds a profile of the practitioners of journalism from political activists and amateurs to the emergence of the professional journalist in the Middle East Anthony Gorman is Senior Lecturer in Modern Middle Eastern History at the University of Edinburgh.
