Recent historical studies on the Ottoman Empire have taken for
granted that subjects of the Ottoman polity flourished under a
so-called "Pax Ottomanica." This edited volume probes the rosy
narrative of Ottoman tolerance that has long dominated the
discussions. The articles carefully strive to contextualize the
many issues that sound like ethnic slurs, racial stereotyping,
religious discrimination, misogyny and elitism to modern ears. The
goal of the volume is not to prove that Ottoman society was a
persecuting one, or that dislike or distrust was its defining
characteristic, but to investigate the axes of tension, blemishes,
and fractures in the everyday practice of coexistence in a dynamic,
multi-religious, multi-confessional and multi-ethnic empire in
which difference was the norm rather than the exception.
