Review

"This book is a welcome addition to the growing literature on three important themes in Middle East history--consumption studies, family history and the home. It productively seeks to link the three themes and argues for the centrality of consumption to studies of the family and its relations to the larger society. The authors examine transformations in the domestic space and its contents as a vehicle for changes within the family. They treat consumption as a complex phenomenon and they add to the healthy ongoing debate on the role of consumption in shaping history."--Donald Quataert, Professor, Department of History, Binghamton University, State University of New York
"The essays of Shechter's edited volume on domestic consumption patterns in Egypt, Israel, the late Ottoman Empire, and Turkey make a major contribution to Middle East studies.The scope of scholarly inquiry is impressive, as is the wealth of sources analyzed by each author. This volume fills a huge gap in the field of Middle East studies and will prove to be essential reading for undergraduates, graduate students, and scholars of the region."--Mine Ener, Villanova University, author of Managing Egypt's Poor and the Politics of Benevolence and coeditor of Poverty and Charity in Middle Eastern Contexts
