Stanford University Press20111 online resource (xi, 275 pages)Description based upon print version of record.1-5036-0061-0 0-8047-7570-2 Includes bibliographical references and index.Introduction : the Hamidiye Light Cavalry in the Ottoman tribal zone -- A manifold mission -- The Hamidiye under Abdülhamid II : 1890-1908 -- The tribal light cavalry under the Young Turks : 1908-1914 -- The Hamidiye and the "agrarian question" -- The Hamidiye and its legacy.At the turn of the twentieth century, the Ottoman state identified multiple threats in its eastern regions. In an attempt to control remote Kurdish populations, Ottoman authorities organized them into a tribal militia and gave them the task of subduing a perceived Armenian threat. Following the story of this militia, Klein explores the contradictory logic of how states incorporate groups they ultimately aim to suppress and how groups who seek autonomy from the state often attempt to do so through state channels.KurdsTurkeyHistoryKurdsTurkeyGovernment relationsTurkeyMilitiaHistoryTurkeyArmed ForcesMinoritiesHistoryTurkeyEthnic relationsHistoryKurdsHistory.KurdsGovernment relations.355.3/708991597056Klein Janet1969-1571520MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910789533303321The margins of empire3845994UNINA
