New English Paperback. Pbo. Demy 8vo. (21 x 14 cm). In English. 260 p. Transcending diaspora: Studies on Sabbateanism and diaspora. This volume contains nine separate yet interconnected articles on the Ottoman-Jewish messianic Sabbatean movement and the Dönmes in early modern and modern times. The articles are linked by three common issues: 1- How did the Dönmes survive their enigmatic identity among the Jews, Christians and Muslims throughout the centuries; 2- How did the outside world perceive and treat them? And 3-How did the dialectical relationship between Dönme and the Others transform Dönme identity over time? At the heart of the Dönme self-preservation over centuries stands a crucial and yet idiosyncratic belief with regards to the Diaspora and the Holy/Promised Land. They radically re-conceptualized the notion of the Holy Land, and transcended the painful idea of being away from the ¿home.¿ According to this belief, any land ¿say Salonica, Istanbul or Izmir- on which the Dönme steps transforms its character and turns into the Holy Land. With this new reinterpretation, the new Holy Land could be¿and was¿considered a new ontological abode. It is not clear whether this idea was conceived during the time of Sabbatai Sevi, but it is certain that it has been utilized by later Dönme generations in order to engender genuine survival mechanisms and mental comfort in the lands in which they lived.

New English Paperback. Pbo. Roy. 8vo. (24 x 17 cm). In English. 35 p. Trade letters as instances of economy, ideology and subjectivity. Winner of the 2002-2003 honorary mention on the monograph in the Ottoman Bank Archives and Research Centre's biannual competition, Unveiling the History of Turkish Banking and Finance, organized with the collaboration of the European Banking History Association and the History Foundation of Turkey. This fascinating account of the business activities of the Mataraci family at the turn of the twentieth century can be read both as a case study of early Muslim Ottoman "entrepreneurship" and a depiction of the broader socio-economic context under the 1908-1918 Young Turk government. Based on family trade stories, revealed to her through interviews held with the Mataraci family elders, and an analysis of the 400 trade letters which were turned over to her, Aliye Mataraci, herself a descendant of the same family, retraces the evolution of the trade business founded by Hajji Ahmed Efendi and passed on to his three sons, and investigates the emergence of a new way of life and new identities in Ottoman Turkey.

New English Paperback. Pbo. Demy 8vo. (21 x 14 cm). In English. 200 p. Tracing Dr. Kilisli Rifat: From Ottoman to Turk and beyond. Nükhet Kardam grew up in Istanbul in the 1960s and 1970s and left Turkey to study international relations in Canada. As she continued to live and work abroad, her ties to Turkey grew stronger rather than weaker over the years. Thus, she embarked on a mysterious journey to explore her grandfather Dr. Kilisli Rifat's life.Her grandparents, Dr. Kilisli Rifat, a well-known medical doctor, author, bureaucrat and professor, and his wife Nazire, the daughter of an Ottoman pasha, were subjects of the multicultural Ottoman Empire. Then they became Turks, 'citizens' of the Republic of Turkey. How did they adapt to becoming citizens of a unitary nation-state with a reconstructed history, national myths and identity? How did they survive the destruction of a vast empire, the wars, and the devastation? Kardam found out that we are links in a chain of generations, unconsciously affected by their suffering or unfinished business, until we acknowledge the past. And her search resulted in surprising discoveries that led to questioning her own identity.
