This review is from: Christians & Jews in the Ottoman Empire: The Functioning of a Plural Society (Hardcover)
This book is a definitely very important scientific resources to understand roots of current problems of Balkans and Middle-east. Today, mounting micro-identities are being perceived as a new danger for world peace. Some aspects of pessimist theories like Clash of Civilizations unfortunately have been approved all around the world as in Bosnia, Kosova, and Iraq. Most of the trouble areas have interesting common point. They all have an Ottoman background. Beyond doubt, neither Middle East, nor Balkans could solve their domestic problems after collapse of the Ottomans. These areas have very complex ethnic and religious structure and even a little problem could easily trigger a chain reaction. Thus, It is so important to clarify the historical background of this area to solve the current problems. If so, how did Ottomans could manage to rule these high-risk areas for almost 500 years in a very peaceful manner? This book is explaining us the administration system of minorities in Ottoman Empire. This system is also worth to learn as a tested example for today's all multi-cultural sociaties. This book is containing all aspects of this subject and enlightening them objectively. So it is obviously worth to read.
