This volume is a local history, focusing on the experiences of
people and communities as they navigated and enacted institutions
and transformations associated with modernization in the late
Ottoman era. Focusing on the local political arena of a relatively
small, predominantly rural and ordinary setting, this book examines
two neighboring Western Anatolian towns: Yenisehir and Iznik.
Utilizing rigorous historiographical inquiry and in-depth use of
archival materials, this book sketches a dynamic picture of late
Ottoman imperial political belonging with the agendas and
priorities of the countryside, where the majority of Ottomans
lived. The monograph contributes to understanding of modernization
from different local perspectives by excavating the provincial
hinterland of the imperial capital. It uses a narrative technique
of analyzing certain local events to address larger structures and
transformations pertaining to the long 19th century in general and
Ottoman history in particular. As a "micro" study, it argues for
the significance of individuals' and social groups' agencies,
strategies and conceptions of their world in the unfolding of
Ottoman modernization. Offering a vivid picture of local
communities and their engagements with modern political, social and
judicial structures in the late Ottoman era, this book will appeal
to scholars and advanced graduate students interested in
comparative imperial history, Ottoman history and Middle Eastern
studies.
