Download or read book The Black Eunuchs of the Ottoman Empire written by George H. Junne and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-06-22 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Chief Black Eunuch, appointed personally by the Sultan, had both the ear of the leader of a vast Islamic Empire and held power over a network of spies and informers, including eunuchs and slaves throughout Constantinople and beyond. The story of these remarkable individuals, who rose from difficult beginnings to become amongst the most powerful people in the Ottoman Empire, is rarely told. George Junne places their stories in the context of the wider history of African slavery, and places them at the centre of Ottoman history. The Black Eunuchs of the Ottoman Empire marks a new direction in the study of courtly politics and power in Constantinople.

Download or read book The New Ottoman Greece in History and Fiction written by Trine Stauning Willert and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-09-04 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the increasing interest in the Ottoman past in contemporary Greek society and its cultural sphere. It considers how the changing geo-political balances in South-East Europe since 1989 have offered Greek society an occasion to re-examine the transition from cultural diversity in the imperial context, to efforts to homogenize culture in the subsequent national contexts. This study shows how contemporary immigration and better relations with Turkey led to new directions in historiography, fiction and popular culture in the beginning of the twenty-first century. It focuses on how narratives about cultural co-existence under Ottoman rule are used as a prism of national self-awareness and argues that the interpretations of Greece’s Ottoman legacy are part of the cultural battles over national identity and belonging. The book examines these narratives within the context of tension between East and West and, not least, Greece’s place in Europe.

Download or read book The Making of the Modern Greeks written by Petros T. Pizanias and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2020-11-19 with total page 558 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How is a society historically formed? How are its historical references, its economy, its social structures, and its language shaped? This book explores these general questions with reference to the case of the Modern Greeks. Who were they? How did they re-emerge on the historical stage after centuries of obscurity since the decline of Antiquity? How was the phenomenon described as New Hellenism historically shaped? What were the historical processes that enabled the New Hellenes to differentiate themselves from the Ottoman system of rule and become distinct from the other Balkan national and cultural groups? This text examines the emergence and formation of various social groups and populations that shaped the historical phenomenon of New Hellenism. It shows that the Modern Greeks were historically formed by way of successive differentiations from the Ottoman frames without initially appearing as homogenous. The book scrutinizes the making of all such differentiations for every social group in each separate geographical area. The activities of these groups in each area eventually formed a distinct economic and cultural space, within the confines of the Ottoman Empire, the space of the New Hellenism.
Download or read book State Nationalisms in the Ottoman Empire Greece and Turkey written by Benjamin C. Fortna and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-05-31 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tracing the emergence of minorities and their institutions from the late nineteenth century to the eve of the Second World War, this book provides a comparative study of government policies and ideologies of two states towards minority populations living within their borders. Making extensive use of new archival material, this volume transcends the tendency to compare the Greek-Orthodox in Turkey and the Muslims in Greece separately and, through a comparison of the policies of the host states and the operation of the political, religious and social institutions of minorities, demonstrates common patterns and discrepancies between the two countries that have previously received little attention. A collaboration between Greek and Turkish scholars with broad ranging research interests, this book benefits from an international and balanced perspective, and will be an indispensable aid to students and scholars alike.
Download or read book Archaeology of the Mediterranean during Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages written by Angelo Castrorao Barba and published by University Press of Florida. This book was released on 2023-03-14 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Varied approaches to an overlooked time period in the history and archaeology of the Mediterranean This book presents multidisciplinary perspectives on Greece, Corsica, Malta, and Sicily from the fourth to the thirteenth centuries, an often-overlooked time in the history of the central Mediterranean. The research approaches and areas of specialization collected here range from material culture to landscape settlement patterns, from epigraphy to architecture and architectural decoration, and from funerary archaeology to urban fabric and cityscapes. Topics covered in these chapters include late Roman villas; the formation of Byzantine and Islamic settlements in western Sicily; reuse of protohistoric sites in late antiquity and the middle ages in eastern Sicily; early Christian landscapes and settlements in Corsica; the transition from late antiquity through Byzantine rule to Muslim conquest in Malta; trade network trajectories of the Aegean islands and Crete; and crosscultural interactions in medieval Greece. Together, these essays show the potential of post-Ancient and post-Classical archaeology, highlighting missing links between the Roman world and medieval Byzantium and broadening the horizons of new generations of archaeologists.
