Empire of Refugees: North Caucasian Muslims and the Late Ottoman State

Wir freuen uns, Sie zu einem Vortrag des Arbeitsbereichs Turkologie einladen zu dürfen:

Prof. Dr. Vladimir Hamed-Troyansky (University of California, Santa Barbara)

Between the 1850s and World War I, the Ottoman Empire welcomed about a million Muslim refugees from Russia. These refugees established hundreds of villages throughout the Ottoman Balkans, Anatolia, and the Levant. Most villages still exist today, including what is now the city of Amman. In his new book, Empire of Refugees: North Caucasian Muslims and the Late Ottoman State, Prof. Dr. Vladimir Hamed-Troyansky examines how Circassian, Chechen, Dagestani, and other refugees transformed the late Ottoman Empire and how the Ottoman government managed Muslim refugee resettlement. Empire of Refugees argues that the Ottoman government created a refugee regime, which predated refugee systems set up by the League of Nations and the United Nations. It offers a new way to think about migration and displacement in the Middle East.
