By situating incidents in particular processes and conflicts, the case studies seek to counter notions of a violent Middle East in order to foster a new understanding of violence beyond that of a meaningless and destructive social and political act. Contributions explore processes sparked by the transition from empires - Ottoman and Qajar, but also European - to the formation of nation states, and the resulting changes in cityscapes throughout the region.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46486654943383,"sku":"9781782385837","price":14655.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781782385837.jpg?v=1766331385","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/urban-violence-in-the-middle-east-changing-cityscapes-in-the-transformation-from-empire-to-nation-state-9781782385837","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
