This book focuses on the western Balkans in the period 1800-1912,
in particular on the peoples and social groups that subsequent
national histories would later identify as Albanians, providing a
revisionist exploration of national identity prior to the
establishment of the nation-state. Isa Blumi posits that such an
identity was politically mobilized, and, that prior to the 1912
Balkan war it was culturally opaque and ideologically fluid. In
relation to the competition among various state and power
structures, be it in the shape of great power intervention,
attempts at building new states, or the Ottoman political center,
Blumi shows that Ottoman reforms were successful in encouraging
most state subjects to commingle local interest with the fate of
the empire itself, meaning that parochial concern for the survival
of the immediate community, as it transformed over time, was
directly linked to the survival of the Ottoman state.
