Editorial Reviews
Review
‘…Above all else, this erudite book is articulate in substance and a real joy to read. One certainly hopes it will appeal to the wide readership it deserves. The structure and choice of contributors serve the editor’s purpose to undermine the traditional Cowboys-and-Indians historiography
that has dominated studies of the Devlet-i Âliyye-i Osmâniyye since its ascent many centuries ago, and the true complexity and multi-layered nature of Ottoman society is laid bare, with succinct clarity’.
