Summary:

This is a well documented, skilfully presented study of the response of Bosnians to the centralization and reform policies of the Ottoman government during the nineteenth century. Focusing on the critical period 1826 to 1836, Fatma Sel Turhan shows how Ottoman efforts to keep the empire together led not only to popular rebellions but also proved to be the first phase in the transition to a new order. This insightful book should be recommended reading for all those interested in the late Ottoman Empire and the history of the Balkans.
