Palmira Brummett is Associate Professor of History, University of Tennessee. She is the author of Ottoman Seapower and Levantine Diplomacy in the Age of Discovery, also published by SUNY Press.

"…a very interesting, stimulating, and thought-provoking study." — Digest of Middle East Studies"This is a truly innovative book. Its importance lies in several dimensions. It does not merely interpret political cartoons—it has much to say about the material condition in which the presses functioned in that period. It provides a history of the Istanbul press and demonstrates that late Ottoman intellectuals had a wide range of thoughts and emotions concerning the Ottoman state and its place in the context of other European powers. It breaks new ground. In connecting the Ottoman situation to that of other formally colonized places, Brummett provides an expanded context for treating the specific circumstances of the place and time. The author's command of the subtleties for the Turkish language and the cultural symbolisms of women is also most impressive." — Gregory C. Kozlowski, author of The Concise History of Islam and the Origin of Empires
