Late Ottoman Bosnia and the Imperial Afterlife | Leyla Amzi-Erdoğdular

E198 | The Treaty of Berlin in 1878 brought an Austro-Hungarian occupation to many parts of the Balkans such as Bosnia that had lived under Ottoman rule for centuries. While this was certainly a historical rupture, as Leyla Amzi-Erdoğdular emphasizes, this period also witnessed some important continuities with the Ottoman past. In this episode, we discuss Dr. Amzi-Erdoğdular's ongoing book project regarding those continuities and examine the lives of Ottoman Muslims of Bosnia between two empires.
