Summary:
This book explores the reactions and coping mechanisms displayed in
both societies in reaction to Europe’s all-pervasive influence.
Elites in both societies engaged in defensive modernization,
culminating in parallel attempts to mould their nations in line with
the western blueprint. The authors examine reforms in the legal
regime, the changing nature of family and gender relations, and
re-engineered conceptions of space and the built environment. They
describe and analyse different aspects of the changes in the two
societies over this period as they defined their practices and
identities against Europe, and often against each other.
