Yazici Cörüt, Gözde
Loyalty and Citizenship

Ottoman Perspectives on Its Russian Border Region (1878-1914).

Gözde Yazici Cörüt unfolds the details of everyday life and represents the local people as active agents - active, moreover, in relation both to the changing nature and effectiveness of the Ottoman state's assertion of territorial authority and also to the differences between policies and practices of the Russian and Ottoman Empires. Overall, she focuses on the end-of-empire border politics and the issue of Ottoman citizenship not only from the perspective of macro-level political developments and central state power but also in terms of the peripheral specificities of administration and the movements and subjecthood choices of people inhabiting the Russo-Ottoman borderland. 217 Seiten, gebunden (Transottomanica; Band 6/V&R unipress 2021) leichte Lagerspuren/minor shelfwear
