Drawing on exceptionally rich historical documentation starting in the early sixteenth century. Cem Behar focuses on how the Kasap Ilyas mahalle came to mirror some of the overarching issues of the capital city of the Ottoman Empire. Also considered are other issues central to the historiography of cities, such as rural migration and urban integration of migrants, including avenues for professional integration and the solidarity networks migrants formed, and the role of historical guilds and non-guild labor, the ancestor of the "informal" or "marginal" sector found today in less developed countries."--JacketIstanbul (Turkey)HistoryKasap Ilyas Mahalle (Istanbul, Turkey)Istanbul (Turkey)Social life and customsIstanbul (Turkey)Economic conditions949.61/8Behar Cem1946-693411MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910810501703321A neighborhood in Ottoman Istanbul4094709UNINA
