Description: Conversion and Apostasy in the Late Ottoman Empire by Selim Deringil Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Set in the declining years of the Ottoman Empire, this book examines how issues of nationalism, national identity and processes of belonging played out in a multi-religious setting, when religious conversion was no longer the answer to political or personal survival. Publisher Description In the nineteenth-century Ottoman Empire traditional religious structures crumbled as the empire itself began to fall apart. The states answer to schism was regulation and control, administered in the form of a number of edicts in the early part of the century. It is against this background that different religious communities and individuals negotiated survival by converting to Islam when their political interests or their lives were at stake. As the century progressed, however, conversion was no longer sufficient to guarantee citizenship and property rights as the state became increasingly paranoid about its apostates and what it perceived as their denationalization. The book tells the story of the struggle between the Ottoman State, the Great Powers and a multitude of evangelical organizations, shedding light on current flash-points in the Arab world and the Balkans, offering alternative perspectives on national and religious identity and the interconnection between the two.
