The core of this edited volume originates from a special issue of
the Journal of the Ottoman and Turkish Studies Association (JOTSA)
that goes well beyond the special issue to incorporate the
stimulating discussions and insights of two Middle East Studies
Association conference roundtables and the important work of
additional scholars in order to create a state-of-the-field volume
on Ottoman sociolegal studies, particularly regarding Ottoman
international law from the eighteenth century to the end of the
empire. It makes several important contributions to Ottoman and
Turkish studies, namely, by introducing these disciplines to the
broader fields of trans-imperial studies, comparative international
law, and legal history. Combining the best practices of diplomatic
history and history from below to integrate the Ottoman Empire and
its subjects into the broader debates of the nineteenth-century
trans-imperial history this unique volume represents the exciting
work and cutting-edge scholarship on these topics that will
continue to shape the field in years to come.
Living in the Ottoman Realm brings the Ottoman Empire to life in
all of its ethnic, religious, linguistic, and geographic diversity.
The contributors explore the development and transformation of
identity over the long span of the empire's existence. They offer
engaging accounts of individuals, groups, and communities by
drawing on a rich array of primary sources, some available in
English translation for the first time. These materials are
examined with new methodological approaches to gain a deeper
understanding of what it meant to be Ottoman. Designed for use as a
course text, each chapter includes study questions and suggestions
for further reading.

region of the Turkish Republic.
