Reflections on Political Culture in Three Spheres
Open AccessR Stephen HumphreysCHAPTERPolitical Culture in the Latin…2021
After considering what is meant by ‘political culture’, this chapter looks at how such an abstraction can be applied to the long period between c .700 and c .1500, over vast stretches of the western Eurasian landmass. The author looks for recurring themes – not grand theory, but rather elements visible in and shared by societies in the three spheres of the Latin west, Byzantium and the Islamic world in this period. Four such elements are suggeste…

Between Memory and Desire: The Middle East in a Troubled Age
L Carl Brown, R Stephen HumphreysARTICLEForeign Affairs1999Cited by: 11
Middle Easterners today are caught between memories of the past and frustrated hopes for the future. They struggle to find solutions to crises of economic stagnation, political gridlock, and cultural identity. In recent decades Islam has become central to this struggle, and almost every issue involves fierce, sometimes violent debates over the role of religion in public life. R Stephen Humphreys' new book presents a much-needed and thoughtful ana…

Egypt in the world system of the later Middle Ages
Open AccessR Stephen HumphreysCHAPTERThe Cambridge history of Egypt.1998
In Islamic times, as in all other phases of its long history, Egypt cannot be comprehended or analyzed in isolation. It was always embedded in a series of larger complexes, whether political, economic, or cultural. Whether it is useful to call the totality of these complexes a "world system" is a question best deferred until a later point in this chapter. Whatever we call them, these complexes were constantly evolving and shifting, as was Egypt's…
