A Taste For Home: The Modern Middle Class In Ottoman Beirut,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
The 'home' is a quintessentially quotidian topic, yet one at the center of global concerns: Consumption habits, aesthetic preferences, international trade, and state authority all influence the domestic sphere. For middleclass residents of latenineteenth and earlytwentiethcentury Beirut, these debates took on critical importance. As Beirut was reshaped into a modern city, legal codes and urban projects pressed at the home from without, and imported commodities and new consumption habits transformed it from within.Drawing from rich archives in Arabic, Ottoman, French, and Englishfrom advertisements and catalogues to previously unstudied government documentsA Taste for Home places the middleclass home at the intersection of local and global transformations. Middleclass domesticity took form between changing urbanity, politicization of domesticity, and changing consumption patterns. Transcending classbased aesthetic theories and static notions of 'Westernization' alike, this book illuminates the selfrepresentations and the material realities of an emerging middle class. Toufoul AbouHodeib offers a cultural history of late Ottoman Beirut that is at once global in the widest sense of the term and local enough to enter the most private of spaces.
