This volume gathers specialists in the social history of the Ottoman Empire as a whole in regions ranging from Anatolia through the Arab provinces to the Balkans, and from the 15th to the early 20th century to respond to recent theoretical calls to recognise children as active agents in history. Divided into 5 thematic sections concepts of childhood, family interrelationships, children outside family circles, children's bodies and education the volume covers the social and political structure of the Ottoman Empire. It uses the innovative prism of children as social agents who are not only shaped by but also shape society, rather than being the passive recipients of their social environment.

Recensioner i media

Gülay Yılmaz and Fruma Zachs’s edited volume is a welcome contribution to the field of history of children and youth in the Ottoman Empire [...] The prominence of the early modern era (with nine chapters) in the volume’s chronological focus is worth stressing, as the research on Ottoman children to date has been confined mostly to the nineteenth century. By the same token, wide geographic coverage of the book, going beyond the Balkans and Anatolia to Wallachia, Crimea, Palestine, and Egypt, has the added value of facilitating comparisons.
