Jön Türkler'in Filistin'i

3/5 ( ratings)

The decisive consequences of the Young Turk Revolution of 1908 had ramifications over the entire Ottoman Empire - and the Ottoman territory of Palestine was no exception. 'Late Ottoman Palestine' examines the impact of Young Turk policies and reforms on local societies and administration, using Palestine as a prism through which to explore the impact of the Revolution in the provincial arena far from the administrative and political centre of the capital. It thus sheds light upon the last decade of Ottoman rule in Palestine, crucially dealing with the roots of Jewish-Arab conflict in the area and the early crystallization of Arab, Palestinian and Zionist identities, along with that of an Ottoman imperial identity. It will be a vital resource for students and researchers interested in the modern history of the Middle East, the Ottoman Empire and Palestine._x000D_ _x000D_ This is the first book to be dedicated to the history of Palestine during the seminal period after the 1908 Revolution, when important developments in terms of the press, education, the evolution of national feeling and infrastructural development, took place. It thus sheds light on an important era that has not been adequately covered in any previous work of history. Equally importantly, this book provides an entirely fresh approach, covering a broad range of key subjects related to this tumultuous time in Palestinian history. I strongly recommend this book. _x000D_ Rashid Khalidi, Edward Said Professor of Arab Studies, Department of History, Columbia University"
