Step right into the town of Šabac in #Serbia in 1844 and see how the interplay between the #Ottoman sovereignty and local autonomy, as well as how the interplay worked on the relations between the local #Christian and #Muslim populations.

This new book sounds amazing, especially if like me you know next to nothing about the #Mongol world.

"The Mongols were not merely invaders, however, and an overemphasis on military history often conceals the rich cultural history of a nomadic society with its own religious traditions and policies of tolerance towards the diverse societies of the medieval #NearEast."

#TIL ...

"Early #Afrikaans developed as a pidgin from both #Dutch and #Malay. Its writing, pioneered mainly by religious teachers of Malay origin, was in the #Arabic script. Over time, the script was modified in parts to suit the needs of spoken Afrikaans. Arabic was the script of early Afrikaans from the 18th century. The first two written texts in Afrikaans were commentaries on the Qu'ran, their publication funded by the #Ottoman empire."

Why does this matter?

"Research on the written tradition in #Africa is relatively recent. Part of the reason lies in the wide acceptance of two assumptions: that Africa is an oral civilization, and that the literature written in Arabic is not part of African civilization."

#histodon Comment raconter l’Empire ottoman?

Une des façons de rendre compte des multiples facettes d’un grand empire est 1 dictionnaire. Celui consacré à l’Empire #ottoman, dirigé par 1 dynastie musulmane sur plus de 6 siècles et étendu sur 3 continents, se présente avec plus de 700 entrées.

Je confirme, un bel outil pour l’#HGGSP #Puissances

Our dear Mr Paton was quite the mover and shaker, getting to meet with the pasha in #Belgrade and being invited to one of the rare social occasions at Knez Aleksandar's court for the leading people of the realm.

Regular followers might even recognise a name or two from a couple of our previous posts about the Načertanije.

Its part of an Ottoman legacy that despite spanning over 400 years is often hidden & hard to find in present-day Greece, we did an episode on this which you can watch here >>>

Here's some 19th century art by #ukranian / #Russian artist #Repin ... He was from #Kharkiv... It depicts the legendary "Reply of the #Zaporozhian #Cossacks" in 1670s, where they basically told their #Turkish / #ottoman overlords to stuff it, but in more vulgar terms. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reply_of_the_Zaporozhian_Cossacks

I've learned that this lovely work of art is a Ketubah (Jewish marriage contract) which was given to the bride "for safekeeping and is often hung prominently in the home." It was created in Jerusalem during the Ottoman Period and this is reflected in the style of the border details.

On the topic of macrons (◌̄, ¯, ¯: one of the #diacritics featured in the major latinization systems for #Ottoman Turkish, hence used e.g. in our https://github.com/QHOD/ota-keyboard input method), we learn from a nice editorial cartoon that those matter in other languages as well, namely for Māori: https://thespinoff.co.nz/atea/24-01-2023/the-side-eye-the-stink-a.

Fun fact, during the #Seljuk/ #Ottoman rule (c.1220-1820) it was often #Greeks who were the professional translators between #Arabic, #Persian, #Turkish and European languages, because of their trading backgrounds. The job was known by the fantastic title #DRAGOMAN; but it didn't have anything to do with dragons, boo hiss. #history #translation #Mediterranean

Hello, everyone! I am new to Mastodon, am returning after my server’s data wipeout, and would like to do an #introduction.
I am a #historian of global #migration, specializing in the #MiddleEast, #Caucasus, and the #Balkans. My forthcoming book examines the resettlement of up to a million Muslim #refugees from #Russia in the #Ottoman Empire. I am broadly interested in histories of displacement, especially in the #Muslim world, and the making of national and international refugee regimes. #histodon
I am an Assistant Professor of Global Studies at UC Santa Barbara, where I deputy-direct the Center for Middle East Studies.
I am looking forward to gradually making home on this platform and to learning about everyone’s work.

I just remembered I haven't shared this here, and it's an opportunity to maybe get responses to it. It's a little out of date now but the questions it raises are totally crucial to everything I do.
