Dreams and Nightmares: Imagining the Aftermath of War, 1815–1945
Thinking about and planning for the end of war generally begins as soon as fighting breaks out, if not long before. Yet few studies analyse how participants considered and prepared for war’s outcomes, and even fewer compare the dynamic of wartime projections in different times and places. Using a transnational longitudinal approach, this article focuses on a series of case-studies across Europe, North America, the Middle East and Asia to examine …

When Democracy Died: The Middle East's Enduring Peace of Lausanne
Histories of Denial
Why did Jews contribute so substantially to the denial of the Armenian genocide for so long? Why have Jews given the Ottomans and Turks favorable press for five centuries? General readers with topical questions like these, as well as scholars interested in Jewish history writing in or on the Ottoman Empire, will be rewarded by the rich insights, thoughtfulness, and topicality of Sultanic Saviors and Tolerant Turks. Critically engaging with the po…
Europe's Seminal Proto-Fascist? Historically Approaching Ziya Gökalp, Mentor of Turkish Nationalism
This essay considers Ziya Gökalp, the received "spiritual father of Turkish nationalism", as an early mastermind of fascism in Greater Europe. During the 1910s, Gökalp acted as a prophet of expansive war and as a mentor of demographic engineering in the Ottoman capital, Istanbul, which was a laboratory for new political styles in a crisis-ridden empire. Gökalp's thinking longed for a supreme leader in an army-like, disciplined and hierarchised so…

Reform or cataclysm? The agreement of 8 February 1914 regarding the Ottoman eastern provinces
On 8 February 1914, Ottoman Grand Vizier Said Halim and the Russian chargé d'affaires Konstantin Gulkevich signed a reform project for seven Ottoman eastern provinces that covered roughly half of Asia Minor. This international Reform Agreement differed considerably from a first Russian draft the year before. Though little known by most World War I historians in the West, this agreement was a central but fragile piece for the future of Ottoman coe…
Barbara Reeves-Ellington. Domestic Frontiers: Gender, Reform, and American Interventions in the Ottoman Balkans and the Near East
In Domestic Frontiers, Barbara Reeves-Ellington considers the “cultural formation of the modern Christian home” (p. 19) to be a crucial element of Protestant mission work in late Ottoman surroundings, a major factor in its impact and more influential than directly spreading the Gospel. From her perspective, domesticity was a frontier of the struggle for modern Protestant life. The photo of a missionary family with twenty-one members—in its midst,…
A Quest for Belonging: Anatolia Beyond Empire and Nation (19th-21st Centuries)
Nearest East: American Millenialism and Mission to the Middle East
Réformes ottomanes et cohabitation entre chrétiens et Kurdes (1839-1915)
Cet article décrit les acteurs et facteurs, internes et externes, de la cohabitation entre chrétiens et Kurdes dans l’Empire ottoman tardif. Il s’intéresse à l’égalité ethno-religieuse, aux rapports entre le pouvoir, la communauté-nation et le territoire, à la propriété foncière et à l’internationalisation des litiges kurdo-arméniens. Les leaders kurdes ont réagi à l’égalité proclamée par les réformes ottomanes et à l’ascension sociale des chréti…
Türkische Nationalrevolution, anthropologisch gekrönt: Kemal Atatürk und Eugène Pittard
Mission as Factor of Change in Turkey (nineteenth to first half of twentieth century)
This article explores the complex role Protestant missionaries played in late Ottoman Asia Minor. For several generations they were important, even if today almost forgotten, actors of social and mental change. They succeeded in establishing autonomous schools, hospitals and factories not only in the capital, but also in the provinces. They had a vision of integrating minorities into an egalitarian pluralist society which was diametrically oppose…
Muslim Heterodoxy and Protestant Utopia. The Interactions Between Alevis and Missionaries in Ottoman Anatolia
150 years ago, the utopia of the Protestant American missionaries in Turkey consisted in an almost millenarian belief in a new social and symbolic order, promoted not by a miraculous deus ex machina but by their own evangelistic, educative and civilizing efforts. Penetrating all the eastern provinces of the Ottoman Empire, the carriers of this impressive Puritan model of successful work, self-confident behavior and the socioreligious subversion o…
