Gülhan Balsoy

The Politics of Reproduction in Ottoman Society, 1838-1900 (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Epidemics, migration and territorial losses led to population decline in early nineteenth-century Turkey. In response, Ottoman elites began a programme of population growth. Balsoy uses previously untapped archival sources to examine these developments, arguing that these changes caused reproduction to become a political experience.
