Alan Mikhail is a professor of history at Yale University whose work centers on the environmental history of Ottoman Empire. His works have been mostly subject to significant acclaim.

Education and Career

Mikhail graduated in History and Chemistry from Rice University in 2001, and received his MA in history from the University of California, Berkeley in 2003.[1] He was conferred with PhD from the same university in 2008. His thesis The Nature of Ottoman Egypt: Irrigation, Environment, and Bureaucracy in the Long Eighteenth Century was awarded with the Malcolm H. Kerr Dissertation Award in the Social Sciences (2009) by Middle East Studies Association of North America (MESA).[1]

He served as a postdoctoral scholar at Stanford University for two years, before becoming an assistant professor of history at Yale University in 2010.[1] In 2013, he was promoted to full professor. He became department chair in 2018.[1]

Works

Monographs

His first monograph was Nature and Empire in Ottoman Egypt (2011), as a part of the Cambridge University Press series Studies in Environment and History.[2] Based on his doctoral dissertation, the book argues for using an environmental lens to understand relations between the Ottoman Empire and the province of Egypt.[3] It received widespread positive reception[23] and was conferred with the Roger Owen Book Award from the MESA for the best book in a two-year period in economics, economic history, or the political economy of the Middle East and North Africa.[24]

In 2014, The Animal in Ottoman Egypt (Oxford University Press) was published. It examines Egypt's changing place in the Ottoman Empire and world economy from the sixteenth to the nineteenth centuries through the lens of human-animal relations.[25] Scholarly reception was mixed.[32]

Published by University of Chicago Press in 2017, Under Osman's Tree received critical acclaim[40] and was awarded with the M. Fuat Köprülü Book Prize of the Ottoman and Turkish Studies Association.[41]

God's Shadow was published by Liveright (an imprint of the trade publisher W. W. Norton) in 2020. The book argues for the central place of the Ottoman Empire in world history using the life and times of the empire's ninth sultan, Selim I.[citation needed] The book garnered mostly positive reviews[42][43][44][45][46][47] and was given starred reviews in Library Journal, Kirkus, and Publishers Weekly.[48][49][50] It was harshly criticized by Cornell Fleischer, Cemal Kafadar, and Sanjay Subrahmanyam who characterized it as error-laden, concluding "God’s Shadow is an excellent example of how global history should not be written."[51] In separate responses, Pamela Crossley and then Efe Khayyat and Ariel Salzmann cite these three authors' envy of Mikhail as the motivation behind their piece.[52][53]

Edited volumes

Published by Oxford University Press in 2013, Water on Sand: Environmental Histories of the Middle East and North Africa was met with widespread acclaim and noted to be a pioneering contribution to the field.[61]

Honors

In 2018, he received the Anneliese Maier Research Award of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation.[62]
