(P/B) ORPHANS AND DESTITUTE CHILDREN IN THE LATE OTTOMAN EMPIRE
History books often weave tales of rising and falling empires, royal dynasties, and wars among powerful nations. Here, Maksudyan succeeds in making those who are farthest removed from power the lead actors in this history. Focusing on orphans and destitute youth of the late Ottoman Empire, the author gives voice to those children who have long been neglected. Their experiences and perspectives shed new light on many significant developments of the late Ottoman period, providing an alternative narrative that recognizes children as historica...

(P/B) LEBANON
This book comprises both Christophe Ippolito and Paul B. Kelley's never-before translated Sentimental Archives of a War in Lebanon and Sam Hazo's English translation of Lebanon: Twenty Poems for One Love, both by Nadia Tueni. The languages of Rimbaud, Lautreamont and surrealist poetry have had a decisive influence on Tueni's work. But she also owes a great debt on the Arabic side to the Lebanese avant-garde poets who, in turn, influenced by surrealism contributed to what has been called "a revolution of poetic language." Her work merges w...

(H/B) FROM EMPIRE TO EMPIRE
The history of Jerusalem as traditionally depicted is the quintessential history of conflict and strife, of ethnic tension, and of incompatible national narratives and visions. It is also a history of dramatic changes and moments, one of the most radical ones being the replacement of the Ottoman regime with British rule in December 1917. From Empire to Empire challenges these two major dichotomies, ethnic and temporal, which shaped the history of Jerusalem and its inhabitants. It links the experiences of two ethnic communities living in Pa...

(H/B) IMPERIAL CITIZEN
Imperial Citizen examines the intersection between Ottoman colonialism, control of the Iraqi frontier through centralization policies, and the impact of those policies on Ottoman citizenship laws and on the institution of marriage. In an effort to maintain control of the Iraqi province, the Ottomans adapted their 1869 citizenship law to prohibit marriages between Ottoman women and Iranian men. This prohibition was an attempt to contain the threat that the Iranian Shi'a population represented to Ottoman control of their Iraqi provinces. In...

(H/B) THE POLITICS OF PUBLIC MEMORY IN TURKEY
Throughout the 1990s and into the 2000s, citizens of Turkey, much like the determined Galip, have been sorting through the rich layers of their history, long covered by the river of a modernist, future-oriented vision. And like [Orhan Pamuk's] evaporating Bosporus, their belief in the future has been drying up. Today many in Turkey curiously excavate through the remnants of their past in order to find clues to help them understand or control the present. Upper-class urbanites frequent antique shops to buy pieces of furniture that their gra...
