'Relli Shechter's Smoking, Culture and Economy in the Middle East illuminates crucial economic, political and cultural processes contributing to the growth of modern Egypt. Shechter's social life of tobacco in Egypt demonstrates both the specificity of local cultural consumption, and the complexities of Egypt's connections to international economy. Moreover the book demonstrates how colonial societies shaped their own destinies, but also how they were nonetheless caught in powerful webs of global exchange long before the term 'globalization' came into vogue. This is a highly original work of truly interdisciplinary scope.'-- Walter Armbrust, Director Middle East Centre, St. Antony's College 'This important book delivers an original insight into the social history of tobacco in Egypt and beyond, and demonstrates convincingly that the market is not merely a price-setting mechanism, but a cultural, social and political construction.'-- Dr J.T. Chalcraft, Lecturer in the History and Politics of Empire, London School of Economics 'an intriguing, challenging...and fascinating study' --Professor Amalia Levanoni, Department of Middle Eastern History, Haifa University Relli Shechter teaches and researches at the Department of Middle East Studies, Ben Gurion University.
