Book Synopsis Ottoman Past and Today's Turkey by : Kemal H. Karpat
Book excerpt: This is the first time the continuity of Ottoman culture in contemporary Turkey is discussed by a group of well-known scholars of Ottoman-Turkish history and society. This is done through a series of research essays on Ottoman culture, its organizations, its modes of thought, and its identities (and their changes). Also, they point out the confused view of republican Turks towards their Ottoman past. The book should prove indispensable to any scholar or library specializing in Turkish, Ottoman, Islamic and Middle East studies.
