The Misadventures of a Dagestani Merchant
In 1877, Russian authorities in Turkestan arrested an Ottoman mullah who was reportedly spreading anti-tsarist propaganda in the Kazakh steppe. Upon closer inspection, the man turned out to be neither an Ottoman subject nor a Muslim religious leader. This article follows the travels of Hajji Ahmed, a young merchant from Dagestan who was at different times accused of being a Russian spy and an Ottoman spy. His three petitions and tsarist investiga…
Abandoned Land
This article examines what happened to the ‘abandoned land’ of Muslim refugees in Bulgaria, Serbia, and Romania after the end of Ottoman rule in 1878. Several hundred thousand Muslims in the Balkans became refugees during the Russo-Ottoman War of 1877–8. Circassians and Crimean Tatars from Russia, whom the Ottoman government had previously settled in the Balkans, were among them. As they evacuated for the safety of Ottoman Anatolia and Syria, nev…
Knowledge Production in Displacement and Forced Migration
Forced migration in the twenty-first century has contributed to a proliferation of scholarship on refugees and displaced peoples. Historical accounts have uncovered various international, national, regional and local regimes established to assist and manage refugee populations. Such studies often point to the twentieth century, especially the periods after the First and Second World Wars, as pivotal moments in the construction of refugees as a po…
Hijra from the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union
In 1901, Cemaleddin Dağıstani, a newly enrolled student at a madrasa in Bursa, sent a letter to his family in the district of Quba (now in Azerbaijan) in the Russian Empire. He excitedly shared what he had witnessed during his journey to the Ottoman Empire. Upon crossing the Russo–Ottoman border from Batum (now Batumi, Georgia) to Rize, he was met by Ottoman officials who registered him as a muhajir (refugee or immigrant). Alongside other muhajir…
Letters from the Ottoman Empire
This article explores the exchange of letters by Caucasus Muslims across the Russo-Ottoman border and the tsarist government's reactions to it. Between the 1850s and World War I, about a million Muslims left the Caucasus for the Ottoman empire. Many of them, especially Circassians, were expelled by the Russian army, and others, including Chechens, Abkhazians, and Daghestanis, were pushed out or emigrated under tsarist rule. Private letters sustai…
Ottoman and Egyptian Quarantines and European Debates on Plague in the 1830 s –1840 s
In the 1830s, plague, which had been all but forgotten by most Europeans, was on everyone’s lips again. Shortly after the Ottoman and Egyptian governments instituted their first permanent quarantines, the disease broke out in the Levant and the Nile delta, and the global medical community watched anxiously to see whether these new western Mediterranean-style quarantines would be able to contain it within the eastern Mediterranean. By tracing two …
Becoming Armenian
In the nineteenth-century South Caucasus, hundreds of local farmers and nomads petitioned Russian authorities to allow them to become Christians. Most of them were Muslims and specifically requested to join the Armenian Apostolic Church. This article explores religious conversions to Armenian Christianity on Russia's mountainous southern border with the Ottoman Empire and Iran. It demonstrates that tsarist reforms, chiefly the peasant reform and …
Circassian Refugees and the Making of Amman, 1878–1914
In the final decades of Ottoman rule, several waves of refugees from the Russian Empire's North Caucasus region immigrated to Transjordan, where they founded Amman and other agricultural villages. This article examines the economy of Amman in its formative years as a Circassian refugee settlement. By exploring connections between North Caucasian refugees, Syrian and Palestinian merchants, and Transjordanian urban and nomadic communities, this stu…
