Michael Provence. The Last Ottoman Generation and the Making of the Modern Middle East
Historians routinely treat the First World War as the starting point for the Middle East’s modern history, as the seminal event that set the region on the path that has led it to the challenging circumstances of today. The war devastated lands still part of the Ottoman Empire, and in 1916 Britain and France agreed on a framework for a postwar division of those territories between their empires. London also made separate, conflicting promises of s…
Edin Hajdarpasic. Whose Bosnia? Nationalism and Political Imagination in the Balkans, 1840–1914
It seems the sad fate of the Balkans to be associated so strongly with nationalism. Ethnicity, nations, and nationalism have exercised an enduring gravitational pull upon the region’s historiography, giving its corpus a distorted profile. In this respect, Edin Hajdarpasic’s Whose Bosnia? Nationalism and Political Imagination in the Balkans, 1840–1914 might go unremarked as yet another book in an overworked field. Rather than treating the nation a…

State, Faith, and Nation in Ottoman and Post-Ottoman Lands
Current standard narratives of Ottoman, Balkan, and Middle East history overemphasise the role of nationalism in the transformation of the region. Challenging these accounts, this book argues that religious affiliation was in fact the most influential shaper of communal identity in the Ottoman era, that religion moulded the relationship between state and society, and that it continues to do so today in lands once occupied by the Ottomans. The boo…
Shattering Empires
Insofar as members of the general public have any clear opinion about the Ottoman Empire, the turbulent decade from the ‘Young Turk’ revolution of 1908 to the end of the First World War still exerts the strongest influence. The refusal of successive governments of the Republic of Turkey to recognize the destruction of eastern Anatolia’s Armenian communities as genocide ensures continued argument about the events of the decade. Opinions about Tsar…
The Balkan Revolutionary Age
Although Ottoman rule was avowedly Islamic in ideology from its very inception, historians have tended to discount the importance of the religion for both state and population during the nineteenth century. Historical accounts of the era dwell upon plans to modernize the empire, which are often equated with an aspiration to westernize, and thus to secularize. Such narratives treat matters of faith that contradict the secularization theme as taint…
