Read more about the series
Connected Histories of the Middle East and the Global South is an interdisciplinary book series
published by the University of Texas Press. The series seeks to publish original research that moves beyond the conventional geo‐spatial conventions of the area studies paradigm of scholarship. This focus is designed to shift the focus of the series away from work that takes a single nation‐state, national history, or comparative study as its framework of inquiry. Therefore, instead of exploring these societies in relation to each other, the series seeks to study them through one another, that is, through connection, interaction, and encounter. Building on emerging scholarship shaped by “connected histories,” “transnationalism,” and “global history,” the series seeks to support research investigating the circulations of peoples, objects, texts, and ideas that link the societies of the Middle East to Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Focusing primarily on the varied forms of these South‐South connections, the series will emphasize themes of mobilities, migration, diaspora, capital flows, pilgrimage, transregional subaltern connectivities, as well as networks of activism, culture, and ideology. While the focus of the series is primarily on the modern period, the series is also open to trans‐temporal scholarship that challenges the historiographic divide between the early modern and modern eras. Collectively, the books published in the series will highlight areas of research that have fallen outside, between, or at the margins of conventionally defined geographies of scholarship.
