In Praise of Books: A Cultural History of Cairo's Middle Class, Sixteenth Through the Eighteenth Century - Middle East Studies Beyond Dominant Paradigms
Nelly Hanna
In fine detail, Hanna explores economic influences on culture during periods of plenty and poverty during the first three centuries of Ottoman rule. She unveils a fully-fledged Cairene middle-class culture that bridges the gap between the salons (majalis) of the elite and the common people.
