Desert Dreams of Drinking the Sea, Consumed by the Cold War
During the Cold War, from the early 1950s through the 1970s, the US Office of Saline Water was instrumental in spearheading the basic research and development that incubated the desalting techniques we see today. American technical assistance programs were fundamental to the growth of desalination capacity in the Middle East and its eventual globalisation. However, the federal government's original target for desalination was southern California …
Imperial Mecca
Michael Christopher Low analyzes the late Ottoman hajj and Hijaz region as transimperial spaces, reshaped by the competing forces of Istanbul's project of frontier modernization and the extraterritorial reach of British India's steamship empire in the Indian Ocean and Red Sea
“The Infidel Piloting the True Believer”
From the 1860s until well into the twentieth century, the pilgrimage to Mecca emerged as a recurrent source of embarrassment for the Government of India.1 On the international stage, Indian pilgrims were characterized as the primary conduit for the globalization of epidemic diseases, most notably cholera, threatening not only the colonized in Asia but the colonizers at home in Europe. At the numerous international sanitary conferences held to add…

Unfurling the Flag of Extraterritoriality
Ottoman Infrastructures of the Saudi Hydro-State
The provisioning of potable water was a microcosm of the Ottoman state's incomplete projects of technopolitical modernization on the Arab frontier. Water questions sat at the intersection between international pressures surrounding cholera, drought, Wahhabi and Bedouin disorder, and the inability of the state to impose its will on the semi-autonomous Amirate of Mecca. To be sure, Ottoman public health reforms and increased attention to water infr…
Empire and the Hajj
From the mid-19th to the early 20th centuries, the forces unleashed by the age of European imperialism and its rapid encroachment on dār al-Islām increasingly brought the hajj under the scrutiny and regulation of non-Muslim powers. The driving force behind these dramatic changes in administration of the hajj was the expansion of the British Empire. As Britain's power in the Indian subcontinent grew, so too did its maritime supremacy throughout th…
