"The Routledge Handbook of the History of the Middle East Mandates marks a groundbreaking contribution to the fields of twentieth century History and Modern Middle East studies. At once globalizing the study of the Middle East and deprovincializing the study of World War I and its aftermath, this book will quickly become required reading in its respective fields. This brilliant collection introduces us to the ways in which the Middle East was a critical staging ground of modernity that led to the emergence of new categories of rule, such as the confession, the minority, and the refugee."
Omnia El Shakry, University of California, Davis, USA
"Thematically organised and compellingly written, this collection offers readers the most comprehensive analysis of the political motivations and socio-cultural impacts of Mandate rule in the Middle East. The coverage is extraordinary, ranging from the high politics of Mandate governance to the micro-level of cities and communities thrown into crisis by changes in imperial authority. An indispensable read for anyone wanting insights into life under the Mandates."
Martin Thomas, University of Exeter, UK
"...whilst this collection will certainly reward specialists, it deserves a much wider readership."
