Sorrowful Shores: Violence, Ethnicity, and the End of the Ottoman Empire, 1912ā1923
Ryan Gingeras
A substantial academic study of the turbulent final years of the Ottoman Empire and the emergence of the modern Turkish Republic.
Ryan Gingeras examines the period from 1912 to 1923, exploring the violence, ethnic conflict, migration and political upheaval that accompanied the transition from empire to nation-state. Particular attention is given to Anatolia and the communities affected by the Balkan Wars, First World War, Armenian Genocide, Turkish War of Independence and Greek occupation.
Drawing on Ottoman archival material, the book examines how violence developed at both local and state levels and provides important historical context for understanding the political and social transformation of the region.
Part of the respected Oxford Studies in Modern European History series and published by Oxford University Press, this is an excellent reference for students, academics and readers interested in Ottoman, Turkish, Middle Eastern and modern European history. Oxford confirms this edition was published in 2009 with print ISBN 9780199561520.
