- English abstract
- Genèses du Moyen Orient… (1800–1914), is a “major contribution” (from Christopher Bayly’s foreword), combining the historiography of the British empire in India and the history of the Middle East. It challenges conventional accounts representing the geographical concept of the “Middle East” as created by twentieth century Western powers. Drawing on extensive research it argues that the geographical concept of the Middle East was invented by the expansively-minded British empire in India during the nineteenth century: and that this empire in India itself constituted a distinct geopolitical actor, rather than being a simple extension of the government in London.
