"Together, [Subversives and Mavericks in the Muslim
Mediterranean's] essays highlight novel ways in which the members
of colonised societies were able to oppose and subvert imperial
power. They confirm that effective resistance could take any form
and be mounted by anyone. It was not limited to dramatic acts or
grand gestures."

"[A] highly interesting volume…This collection joins a welcomed and
renewed historiographical attention to the historical actor as an
agent of sociopolitical change."
