For middle-class residents of late-nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century Beirut, these debates took on critical importance. As Beirut was reshaped into a modern city, legal codes and urban projects pressed at the home from without, and imported commodities and new consumption habits transformed it from within.</p><p>Drawing from rich archives in Arabic, Ottoman, French, and Englishfrom advertisements and catalogues to previously unstudied government documents<em>A Taste for Home</em> places the middle-class home at the intersection of local and global transformations. Middle-class domesticity took form between changing urbanity, politicization of domesticity, and changing consumption patterns. Transcending class-based aesthetic theories and static notions of "Westernization" alike, this book illuminates the self-representations and the material realities of an emerging middle class. Toufoul Abou-Hodeib offers a cultural history of late Ottoman Beirut that is at once global in the widest sense of the term and local enough to enter the most private of spaces.</p>...3405645A Taste for Home12191355https://www.gandhi.com.mx/a-taste-for-home-9781503601475/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/2419071/4f06d0d3-f193-402e-92c2-c7ccaad652b6.jpg?v=638383949963100000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20179781503601475_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_<p>The home is a quintessentially quotidian topic, yet one at the center of global concerns: Consumption habits, aesthetic preferences, international trade, and state authority all influence the domestic sphere.
