“This book brings the Ottoman Empire to life in all of its ethnic, religious, linguistic, and geographic diversity. The contributors explore the development and transformation of identity over the long span of the empire’s existence. They offer engaging accounts of individuals, groups, and communities by drawing on a rich array of primary sources, some available in English translation for the first time.”
“This unique volume . . . stands out from the many other assembled volumes on the Ottoman Empire due to the focused and coherent picture of the empire it presents. . . . Highly recommended.”
