Description: Men of Capital reveals how Palestinian businessmen and British colonial officials used economy to shape territory, the nation, the home, and the body.
Review Quotes: "Sherene Seikaly's critical history of Palestinian economic agents and thinkers is an exemplary instance of new approaches to political economy. Eschewing both nostalgic mourning and nationalist frames, Men of Capital will inform and instruct debates about the regional roots of economic practices and the institutional infrastructure of economic imaginaries across twentieth century Middle Eastern studies."--Manu Goswami "New York University"
