Summary

"This volume brings together much important scholarship by one of the world's foremost authorities on the Turkic-speaking world. It reflects J.M. Landau's interest in such subjects as nationalism and pan-nationalism (in this context chiefly pan-Turkism); political radicalism (the trio of extreme left, chauvinist right and militant Islamism), ethnic and religious minorities (mainly Jews, Arabs and Greeks); the impact of language rivalries on inter-community relations; and accounts of Eastern and Western travellers in the Ottoman Empire (largely from unpublished manuscripts in different languages). The chapters together offer a panorama of certain areas in the Ottoman Empire and the Republic of Turkey, seen in a somewhat different perspective from the usual ones of the historian and the political scientist."--Jacket.
