Istanbul explores how to live with difference through the prism of
an age-old, cutting-edge city whose people have long confronted the
challenge of sharing space with the Other. Located at the
intersection of trade networks connecting Europe, Asia, and Africa,
Istanbul is western and eastern, northern and southern, religious
and secular. Heir of ancient empires, Istanbul is the premier city
of a proud nation-state even as it has become a global city of
multinational corporations, NGOs, and capital flows. Rather
than exploring Istanbul as one place at one time, the contributors
to this volume focus on the city’s experience of migration and
globalization over the last two centuries. Asking what Istanbul
teaches us about living with people whose hopes jostle with one’s
own, contributors explore the rise, collapse, and fragile rebirth
of cosmopolitan conviviality in a once and future world city. The
result is a cogent, interdisciplinary exchange about an urban space
that is microcosmic of dilemmas of diversity across time and space.
