It shows that the solidarities and polarities created by disputes over alcohol are built on arguments far more complex than oppositions on religion or consumption alone. In a region in which alcohol is banned by Islamic rules, yet allows its production and consumption, alcohol has always been contentious. However, this volume examines the different forms of social authority ? religious, cultural and political ? to offer a new understanding of drinking behaviours in the Middle East and North Africa. It suggests that alcohol, being at the same time an import and product of local industry, epitomises the tensions inherent to the conforming of Islamic societies to global trends, which seek to redefine political communities, social hierarchies and gender roles. The chapters challenge common misconceptions about alcohol in this region, arguing instead that medical discourses on alcohol dependency hide stances on national independence in an imperialist context; that the focus on religion also tends to conceal disputes on alcohol as a social struggle; and that disputes on inebriation are more about masculinity than judging private leisure. In doing so, the volume presents alcohol as a way of grasping the power relations that structure the societies of the Middle East and Maghreb. 410 0$aSt Antony's Series,$x2633-5972 606 $aMiddle East$xHistory 606 $aAfrica, North$xHistory 606 $aReligion$xHistory 606 $aCivilization$xHistory 606 $aWorld politics 606 $aMedicine$xHistory 606 $aHistory of the Middle East 606 $aHistory of North Africa 606 $aHistory of Religion 606 $aCultural History 606 $aPolitical History 606 $aHistory of Medicine 615 0$aMiddle East$xHistory. 615 0$aAfrica, North$xHistory. 615 0$aReligion$xHistory. 615 0$aCivilization$xHistory. 615 0$aWorld politics. 615 0$aMedicine$xHistory. 615 14$aHistory of the Middle East. 615 24$aHistory of North Africa. 615 24$aHistory of Religion. 615 24$aCultural History. 615 24$aPolitical History. 615 24$aHistory of Medicine. 676 $a362.292 676 $a394.13 702 $aBic?er-Deveci$b Elife 702 $aBourmaud$b Philippe$f1974- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910520062003321 996 $aAlcohol in the Maghreb and the Middle East since the Nineteenth Century$92584590 997 $aUNINA
