SUMMARY:Labor and Capitalism in Modern Egypt: Wages in a Sugar Factory\, 1847-1904
DESCRIPTION:This paper contributes to the global history of capitalism in rural contexts\, examining the impact of agro-industrial mechanization on wages in African rural communities through a case study of a sugar factory in 19th-century Egypt. Utilizing approximately fifty wage registers from the Rawda factory in Middle Egypt\, dating from 1849 to 1903 and now preserved in the Egyptian National Archives\, the study offers a detailed analysis of wage trends over this fifty-year period. By focusing on the monthly wages of various labor categories—ranging from European and local engineers to factory supervisors and\, notably\, accountants involved in sugar production—this research traces shifts in the value of skilled labor. Preliminary findings suggest a decline in the relative value of skill over time\, with technological innovation or labor shortages serving as key factors in any subsequent increases in skill valuation. \n  \nAdam Mestyan is a historian of the modern Middle East and the Ford Foundation Professor of Middle Eastern Studies in the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations at Harvard University. His research and teaching focus on how globalization and war have shaped Arab societies and cultures—especially Egypt\, Syria\, and the Red Sea region—from the late Ottoman Empire to today. He is the author of Modern Arab Kingship – Remaking the Ottoman Political Order in the Interwar Middle East (Princeton\, 2023); Primordial History\, Print Capitalism\, and Egyptology in Nineteenth-Century Cairo (Ifao\, 2021); and Arab Patriotism: The Ideology and Culture of Power in Late Ottoman Egypt (Princeton\, 2017). Currently he is writing a history of economic life in Egypt through the story of its sugar industry. \n

SUMMARY:Michael Cooperson (UCLA)\, "Towards a New Arabic Literary History"
DESCRIPTION:Towards a new Arabic literary history \nMichael Cooperson\, Professor of Arabic\, NELC\, UCLA\nWhat did pre-modern authors writing in Arabic have to say about their own literary history? Many things\, as it turns out\, most of them non-linear. In this respect\, their accounts differ from the rise-and-fall story later promulgated by European scholars––a story which has now become the dominant one even in the Arab world. \n \nWhat’s next? One way forward\, I propose\, is to draw on non-linear approaches\, both pre-modern and modern––including\, for example\, the late-nineteenth century notion of Kulturgeschichte as applied to the cultural history of Arabic-speaking societies. A new literary history of Arabic––or at least\, the one I am trying to write––should grant equal weight to all periods and regions; should foreground reception\, especially translation\, as a critical part of the story; and should embrace avowedly pedagogical elements such as commentary\, digression\, and above all\, visual explanation. \nThe talk will include a sneak preview of this work in progress; comments and criticism are welcome! I am also very interested in hearing from participants about the state of literary history in their fields of expertise.

SUMMARY:The Pasha's New Clothes: The History Section of an 18th-Century Library from Acre - Lecture by Prof. Dana Sajdi (Boston College)
DESCRIPTION:This is an exploration of the history booklist found in a recently discovered ‘library catalogue’ from a college in 18th-century Acre. Endowed by the notorious Ottoman governor of the region Ahmad Pasha al-Jazzar (d. 1804)\, the library seems to have been one of the largest in the Ottoman Levant. In addition to introducing the larger ‘al-Jazzar Library Project’\, I will argue that the eclectic nature of the history collection exceeds the purposes of a college curriculum or the needs of local readers. Despite their variety\, the books were carefully chosen and cUrated to reflect the colorful career of the patron himself and to construct a heroic and royal image of him resembling that of imperial rulers. This is a vanity collection that the Pasha used to display his new clothes. \nThis event is organized by the King Abdul Aziz Ibn Saud Chair in Islamic Studies.

SUMMARY:The Deccani Trails of the St Andrews Qur'an Manuscript - Lecture by Dr. Keelan Overton
DESCRIPTION:Shortly after its production in Safavid Tabriz or Herat\, the single-volume Quran manuscript known as the “St Andrews Quran” traveled east to the Deccan region of southern India and circulated between four courtly contexts over the next two hundred years. The evidence for this dynamic life history is found in the codex itself\, and this talk summarizes the findings of a multi-year interdisciplinary archaeological excavation of the manuscript. Weaving between the object\, archive\, and political realities of the Deccan sultanates\, Mughal court\, and Tipu Sultan\, I consider how the St Andrews Quran inspires the writing of ground-based art histories that challenge prevailing taxonomies. \nThis event is organized by the King Abdul Aziz In Saud Chair in Islamic Studies.

SUMMARY:"Thinking Palestine Panel: 1967 and Beyond"\, Panel and Poster Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Please join us on April 28 from 4-6:30 pm for a panel\, poster exhibit\, and reception for the event “Thinking Palestine: 1967 and Beyond.” The event will be at Wireframe Studio in the Music Library\, Music Building 1st floor. \nJune 2017 will mark fifty years of the Israeli occupation of the West Bank\, the Gaza Strip\, and East Jerusalem. The anniversary makes all too evident what activists and scholars have long noted: the Israeli military occupation is not temporary. It is a defining structure of the Israeli and Palestinian political landscape. \nAlong with UCLA and UC Berkeley\, UCSB is hosting a day of commemoration that will include a panel\, a poster exhibit\, and a reception. The panel\, including Felice Blake\, Richard Falk\, Lisa Hajjar\, and Sherene Seikaly\, seeks to build on decades of critical thinking and political organizing around Palestine and justice more broadly. It will engage how legality\, legitimacy\, and history have intersected over the last half a century. The discussant for the panel is Jennifer Tyburczy.

SUMMARY:Salim Yaqub\, History\, "Imperfect strangers: Americans\, Arabs\, and U.S.-Middle East Relations in the 1970s"
DESCRIPTION:Salim Yaqub will be giving a talk on his new book\, Imperfect Strangers: Americans\, Arabs\, and U.S.-Middle East Relations in the 1970s\, which was published by Cornell University Press in September 2016. In this book Yaqub argues that the 1970s were a pivotal decade in U.S.-Arab relations—a time when Americans and Arabs became an inescapable presence in each other’s lives and perceptions\, and when each society came to feel profoundly vulnerable to the political\, economic\, cultural\, and even physical encroachments of the other. Throughout the seventies\, these impressions aroused striking antagonism between the United States and the Arab world. Over the same period\, however\, elements of the U.S. intelligentsia grew more respectful of Arab perspectives\, and a newly assertive Arab American community emerged into political life. These patterns left a contradictory legacy of estrangement and accommodation that continued in later decades and remains with us today. \nYaqub is Professor of History at the University of California\, Santa Barbara\, and Director of UCSB’s Center for Cold War Studies and International History. He is the author of Containing Arab Nationalism: The Eisenhower Doctrine and the Middle East (University of North Carolina\, 2004) and of several articles and book chapters on the history of U.S. foreign relations\, the international politics of the Middle East\, and Arab American political activism.

In 2006 she co-edited a volume in Turkish about the first five Armenian feminists of the Ottoman Empire and Turkish Republic. Her most recent book\, Recovering Armenia: The Limits of Belonging in Post-Genocide Turkey\, came out from Stanford University Press in early 2016. \nAbout the Talk\nThis talk follows the trajectories of the survivors of the 1915 Armenian Genocide who remained inside Turkish borders after the signing of the 1918 Mudros Armistice (and during the Allied occupation years of Istanbul) and after the 1923 establishment of the new country as the Turkish Republic. How did the Kemalist state treat the remaining Armenians? What were Armenians’ responses to the new (but also old) Turkish regime? I will discuss multiple strategies Armenians –including feminist Armenians– improvised in order to cohabit with unapologetic perpetrators and survive the new Turkey.

SUMMARY:Robin and Robert Jones present "Refugees on the Greek Island of Lesbos"
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, April 14th at 2pm in HSSB 6020\, Robin and Robert Jones will speak about their experiences working with refugees landing on the Greek island of Lesbos. \nTheir presentation is co-sponsored by the History Department\, the Center for Middle East Studies\, and the Argyropoulos Hellenic Studies Endowment. \nRobin and Robert Jones live part of their year on the Greek island of Lesbos\, which is a major landing area for desperate refugees from war-torn Syria\, Afghanistan\, and Iraq. The refugees arrive in rubber rafts\, crossing the strait from Turkey\, under harrowing conditions; many die en route. \nRobin (center) greets a family waiting at a transit station. Women and children composed 50 percent of all refugees who fled to Europe by sea in 2015.\nThe Jones’ have put together a photographic exhibit of the refugees – their arrival and living conditions – and the children’s drawings\, along with a PowerPoint presentation documenting this world event. They were intimately involved in providing assistance and support and now they want to tell the refugees’ stories. \nIt is a story that needs to be told\, and puts a very human face on what otherwise is\, for most people\, a five minute clip on the news. It also provides an important counterpoint to the “immigrant as terrorist” narrative that dominates the news these days. \n  \nYou can read more about Robin and Robert in the Independent: http://www.independent.com/news/2016/mar/10/horror-and-hope-lesbos/
