Join us for a book talk by Prof. Julia Elyachar (Anthropology and International Studies, Princeton University). On the Semicivilized is a sweeping analysis of the coloniality that shaped--and blocked--sovereign futures for those dubbed barbarian and semicivilized in the former Ottoman Empire. This monumental book draws on thirty years of ethnographic research in Cairo, family archives from Palestine and Egypt, and research on Ottoman debt and finance.
