The I.B. Tauris Handbook of the Late Ottoman Empire, Gebunden

Klappentext

Drawing on contributions from fifty established and emerging academics, The I. B. Tauris Handbook of the Late Ottoman Empire explores the scholarship that has emerged in recent decades on the Late Ottoman period and its legacies. Seven chronological sections, featuring thirty-four chapters and eight supplementary essays, guides the reader from the late eighteenth century to the early twenty-first century.

The first two sections cover the Ottoman Empire before the 1908 Young Turk Revolution. Section III addresses diachronic topics from Arab and Kurdish nationalism to missionaries and Zionism. Sections IV and V examine the post-1908 period, marked by the Young Turks' rise (specifically the Committee of Union and Progress), the Great War, and mass violence. Section VI discusses the post-Great War treaty system and its lasting impact, while Section VII explores post-Ottoman realities entangled with the late Ottoman legacy.

The volume includes two bibliographies, a chronology of political events, and an incisive afterword on the state of the field. Surveying scholarship and its interdisciplinary dimensions, and highlighting mass violence as a formative force in the region's history, this handbook serves as a reference for researchers, diplomats, students, and general readers.
