Told through the life and work of a barber-Ibn Budayr-this book explores emerging written historical forms by non-scholars in the 18th century Ottoman Empire to offer a revisionist history that connects 18th century society and culture to the 19th century Arab Renaissance.

'Ottoman Tulips, Ottoman Coffee' offers a critical exploration of a range of definitive cultural phenomena of the Ottoman 18th century, including the coffee house, print culture, imperial architecture, royal pageantry and festivals.
