Michael Meeker expertly combines anthropological and historical methods to examine the transition from the Ottoman Empire to the Turkish Republic in a major region of the country, the eastern Black Sea coast. His most significant finding is that a state-oriented provincial oligarchy played a key role in successive programs of reform over the course of more than two hundred years of imperial and national history. As Meeker demonstrates, leading individuals backed by interpersonal networks determined the outcome of the modernizing process, first during the westernizing period of the Empire, then during the revolutionary period of the Republic.To understand how such a state-oriented provincial oligarchy was produced and reproduced along the eastern Black Sea coast, Meeker integrates a contemporary ethnographic study of public life in towns and villages with a historical study of official documents, consular reports, and travel narratives. A Nation of Empire provides anthropologists, historians, and students of Eastern Europe and the Middle East with a new understanding of the complexities and contradictions of modern Turkish experience. 606 $aElite (Social sciences)$zTurkey$zBlack Sea Coast$xHistory 606 $aIslam and politics$zTurkey$zBlack Sea Coast$xHistory 607 $aBlack Sea Coast (Turkey)$xSocial conditions 607 $aBlack Sea Coast (Turkey)$xPolitics and government 610 $aagha families. 610 $aagriculture. 610 $aamnesia. 610 $aarmy. 610 $abelief. 610 $acoastal region. 610 $aempire. 610 $afaith. 610 $afamily life. 610 $afeudal system. 610 $afeudalism. 610 $aislam. 610 $aislamic world. 610 $aislamic. 610 $amiddle east. 610 $amiddle eastern. 610 $amilitary. 610 $amodern world. 610 $amodernity. 610 $anation state. 610 $anew republic. 610 $aold republic. 610 $aottoman. 610 $aprohibition. 610 $aregional. 610 $areligion. 610 $areligious studies. 610 $asocial justice. 610 $asocial progress. 610 $asoldiers. 610 $aturkey. 610 $aturkish. 615 0$aElite (Social sciences)$xHistory. 615 0$aIslam and politics$xHistory. 676 $a306/.09565 700 $aMeeker$b Michael E$0299640 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455420703321 996 $aA nation of empire$92468080 997 $aUNINA
