“The book is ambitious, covering a forty-year period and surveying a large geography including Istanbul and the empire’s two largest tobacco-production centers, Samsun and Kavala. Central units of analysis in Labor and Power are class dynamics and labor unrest in Ottoman centers of industry. … It will be an important milestone in Turkish labor history for years to come.” (Kaleb Herman Adney, Review of Middle East Studies, September 13, 2024)
