Boken ger en fördjupad och nyanserad bild av ett imperium som varit centralt för den europeiska historien. Att den blir lite repetitiv ibland får man leva med – när 600 år ska avhandlas kan det till och med vara skönt med några extra påminnelser om vem som är vem.

Wall Street Journal

Osmanska riket har ofta framställts som den islamiska motsatsen till det kristna Europa. Men i detta nya standardverk presenteras en annan bild – en bild av ett rike som sammansmälte väst och öst, ett mångetniskt, mångspråkigt och mångreligiöst rike. De osmanska härskarna själva betraktade sig som de gamla romerska kejsarnas arvtagare.

Från nomadhövdingar till världsimperium – här skildras hela den häpnadsväckande historien från 1200-talet till 1923. Hur riket bildades ur turkiska, mongoliska, islamiska och bysantinska sammanhang och kom att påverka såväl Europa som världen. Men det är också en skildring av hur tidiga experiment med tolerans och sekularism övergick i exkludering och folkmord. Ur spillrorna av den fallna jätten reste sig staten Turkiet.

Boken är en fantastisk genomgång av dess historia.

Dönme

Jewish Converts, Muslim Revolutionaries, and Secular Turks

This book tells the story of the Dönme, the descendents of Jews who resided in the Ottoman Empire and converted to Islam along with their messiah, Rabbi Shabbatai Tzevi, in the seventeenth century. For two centuries following their conversion, the Dönme were accepted as Muslims, and by the end of the nineteenth century rose to the top of Salonikan society. The Dönme helped transform Salonika into a cosmopolitan city, promoting the newest innovation in trade and finance, urban reform, and modern education. They eventually became the driving force behind the 1908 revolution that led to the overthrow of the Ottoman sultan and the establishment of a secular republic.To their proponents, the Dönme are enlightened secularists and Turkish nationalists who fought against the dark forces of superstition and religious obscurantism. To their opponents, they were simply crypto-Jews engaged in a plot to dissolve the Islamic empire. Both points of view assume the Dönme were anti-religious, whether couched as critique or praise.But it is time that we take these religious people seriously on their own terms. In the Ottoman Empire, the Dönme promoted morality, ethics, spirituality, and a syncretistic religion that reflected their origins at the intersection of Jewish Kabbalah and Islamic Sufism. This is the first book to tell their story, from their origins to their near total dissolution as they became secular Turks in the mid-twentieth century.

Conversion and Conquest in Ottoman Europe

In Honored by the Glory of Islam Marc David Baer proposes a novel approach to the historical record of Islamic conversions during the Ottoman age and gathers fresh insights concerning the nature of religious conversion itself. Rejecting any attempt to explain Ottoman Islamization in terms of the converts' motives, Baer instead concentrates on the proselytizers - in this case, none other than the sultan himself. Mehmed IV (1648-87) is remembered as an aloof ruler whose ineffectual governing led to the disastrous siege of Vienna. Through an integrated reading of previously unexamined Ottoman archival and literary texts, Baer reexamines Mehmed IV's failings as a ruler by underscoring the sultan's zeal for bringing converts to Islam.As an expression of his rededication to Islam, Mehmed IV actively sought to establish his reputation as a convert-maker, convincing or coercing Christian and Jewish subjects to be "honored by the glory of Islam," and Muslim subjects to turn to Islamic piety. Revising the conventional portrayal of a ruler so distracted by his passion for hunting that he neglected affairs of state, Baer shows that Mehmed IV saw his religious involvement as central to his role as sultan. He traces an ever-widening range of reform, conversion, and conquest expanding outward from the heart of Mehmed IV's empire.This account is the first to correlate the conversion of people and space in the mature Ottoman Empire, to investigate conversion from the perspective of changing Ottoman ideology, and to depict the sultan as an interventionist convert maker. The resulting insights promise to rework our understandings of the reign of a forgotten ruler, a largely neglected period in Ottoman history, the changing nature of Islam and its history in Europe, relations between Muslims, Christians, and Jews in Europe, the practice of Jihad, and religious architecture in urban history.

"Honored by the Glory of Islam is an important new source on the study of conversion. Much of this most informative book deals with the dual role of conversion and conquest in defining the controversial reign of Sultan Mehmed IV. Baer's innovative reading of Ottoman chronicles and his focus on the nuances of conversion within one own's religion makes this text an invaluable presentation of an exciting new area of research." --Ethel Wolper, Associate Professor of History, University of New Hampshire "Marc Baer offers an innovative interpretation of religious conversion, especially conversion to Islam in the Ottoman age. Lacking enough evidence to speculate on the motives of the converts, he instead focuses on the agency of those who initiated the conversion process - in this case no less than the sultan himself. Baer focuses on the career of Sultan Mehmed IV (r. 1648-87), and on the people who came into direct contact with his court. In this way he sheds important new light on a critical period in the Ottoman Empire's long history. Baer also convincingly revises the character of Mehmed IV as an inept ruler whose incompetence led to the catastrophic siege of Vienna in 1683. This original study will be of great interest not only to Ottoman specialists, but to students of Islam and of religious conversion." --R.M.Eaton, Professor of History, University of Arizona Winner of the Albert Hourani Book Award of the Middle East Studies Association of North America for the best book in Middle East Studies (2008) and short-listed for the Best First Book in the History of Religions by the American Academy of Religion (2009).

Hugo Marcus (1880–1966) was a man of many names and many identities. Born a German Jew, he converted to Islam and took the name Hamid, becoming one of the most prominent Muslims in Germany prior to World War II. He was renamed Israel by the Nazis and sent to the Sachsenhausen concentration camp before escaping to Switzerland. He was a gay man who never called himself gay but fought for homosexual rights and wrote queer fiction under the pen name Hans Alienus during his decades of exile.In German, Jew, Muslim, Gay, Marc David Baer uses Marcus’s life and work to shed new light on a striking range of subjects, including German Jewish history and anti-Semitism, Islam in Europe, Muslim-Jewish relations, and the history of the gay rights struggle. Baer explores how Marcus created a unique synthesis of German, gay, and Muslim identity that positioned Johann Wolfgang von Goethe as an intellectual and spiritual model. Marcus’s life offers a new perspective on sexuality and on competing conceptions of gay identity in the multilayered world of interwar and postwar Europe. His unconventional story reveals new aspects of the interconnected histories of Jewish and Muslim individuals and communities, including Muslim responses to Nazism and Muslim experiences of the Holocaust. An intellectual biography of an exceptional yet little-known figure, German, Jew, Muslim, Gay illuminates the complexities of twentieth-century Europe’s religious, sexual, and cultural politics.

The Ottoman Empire has long been depicted as the Islamic-Asian antithesis of the Christian-European West. But the reality was starkly different: the Ottomans' multiethnic, multilingual, and multireligious domain reached deep into Europe's heart. In their breadth and versatility, the Ottoman rulers saw themselves as the new Romans. Recounting the Ottomans' remarkable rise from a frontier principality to a world empire, Marc David Baer traces their debts to their Turkish, Mongolian, Islamic and Byzantine heritage; how they used both religious toleration and conversion to integrate conquered peoples; and how, in the nineteenth century, they embraced exclusivity, leading to ethnic cleansing, genocide, and the dynasty's demise after the First World War. Upending Western concepts of the Renaissance, the Age of Exploration, the Reformation, this account challenges our understandings of sexuality, orientalism and genocide. Radically retelling their remarkable story, The Ottomans is a magisterial portrait of a dynastic power, and the first to truly capture its cross-fertilisation between East and West.

Selten zuvor hat ein Buch in solch einem Detailreichtum und mit so groer Erzahlkraft die Geschichte der Beziehungen zwischen Juden und Muslimen nachgezeichnet. Angesichts der gegenwartigen kriegerischen Auseinandersetzungen im Nahen Osten wird oft ubersehen, dass Muslime und Juden eine lange, komplexe, eng verflochtene Geschichte teilen, die uber 1400 Jahre in die Vergangenheit reicht langst nicht immer standen sie sich als Feinde gegenuber. Marc David Bear zeigt mit seiner umfassenden Darstellung, dass Interaktionen zwischen Juden und Muslimen seit ihren ersten Begegnungen zur Zeit Mohammeds stets vielfaltig waren und das ganze Spektrum menschlicher Emotionen umfassten von Aggression und Hass uber Anerkennung und Wertschatzung bis hin zu Liebe und Freundschaft. Reich an Anekdoten und in bildhafter, lebhafter Sprache erzahlt Baer von Jahrhunderten judisch-muslimischen Lebens etwa in Spanien, Marokko oder der Turkei: Kinder Abrahams ist eine umfassende Geschichte der muslimisch-judischen Beziehungen vom 7. Jahrhundert bis in die Gegenwart und ein wichtiger Beitrag zum Verstandnis und zur Orientierung in unserer heutigen Zeit. Ein unverzichtbares Buch zum Verstandnis von Zusammenleben und Konflikt zwischen Muslimen und Juden eine Geschichte, die viel zu wenig bekannt und doch fur unsere heutige Welt von gro ter Relevanz ist.
