Summary
"An exploration of the contemporary influence of the Ottoman Empire on the wider world, as the author uncovers the new Ottoman legacy across Europe and the Middle East."--Amazon.com summaryThe author's odyssey began when she looked beyond Turkey's borders for contemporary traces of the Ottoman Empire. Their 800 years of rule ended a century ago - and yet, traveling through twelve countries from Kosovo to Greece to Palestine, she uncovers a legacy that's vital and relevant; where medieval ethnic diversity meets twenty-first century nationalism - and displaced people seek new identities. In every community, history is present as a dynamic force. Faced by questions of exile, diaspora, and collective memory, Alev Scott searches for answers from the cafés of Beirut to the refugee camps of Lesbos. --, From dust jacket
