How did South Asia and the Middle East become increasingly intertwined since the 18th century? Rishad Choudhury provides a compelling exploration of this development in Hajj across Empires. Pilgrimage and Political Cultures after the Mughals, 1739-1857 (Cambridge University Press). I’ve reviewed it for H-Soz-Kult (Open Access):

Nora Derbal (Asia Africa Institute, University of Hamburg) and I have co-reviewed Maya Wind’s important intervention Towers of Ivory and Steel. How Israeli Universities Deny Palestinian Freedom (Verso) for Die Welt des Islams.
