Hamidian Palestine: Politics and Society in the District of Jerusalem 1872-1908 de Johann Büssow

Hamidian Palestine: Politics and Society in the District of Jerusalem 1872-1908: The Ottoman Empire and its Heritage, cartea 46

Autor Johann Büssow
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 10 aug 2011
During the era of Sultan Abdülhamid II, modern state institutions were established in Palestine, while national identities had not yet developed. Hamidian Palestine explores how the inhabitants of the Ottoman District of Jerusalem interacted with each other and how they organised their interests in a historical moment before ‘Arabs’ and ‘Jews’ emerged as the central political categories in the country. Based on a wide range of Arabic, Turkish and Hebrew sources, the book examines the social and political relations of Palestinians from a wide variety of perspectives. By situating individual case studies within larger contexts such as modernisation, regionalisation and state-building, it allows Palestinian society to be compared with other local societies within the Ottoman Empire and beyond.

Recenzii

'....Ultimately, what this book offers, as Büssow himself acknowledges, is a ‘framework for inquiry into the societal history of late Ottoman Palestine’ (p. 515). I would add that this book provides an excellent point of departure for future projects on Hamidian Palestine that could take advantage of the wide range of resources that Büssow showcases, with the potential of challenging our understanding of that period. Finally, I believe this book is a must for every student of late Ottoman Palestine’s history. The sheer amount of information compiled and skillfully presented in four parts, along with very useful appendices, makes this book one of the most comprehensive English language resources available on this period'.

“By means of […] micro-histories, we are able to get a sense of how the gap between the Ottoman past and nationalist memory was a result of the disruptive experiences of the [First World W]ar […].
In Hamidian Palestine […] Johann Büssow takes a significant step towards closing this gap in the historiography by means of a comprehensive account of the state formation process in Palestine throughout the three decades preceding the Young Turk Revolution.”
