Molly Greene provides a new interpretation of the Ottoman centuries,
drawing extensively on recent Greek scholarship. Moving beyond old
models of a cohesive and autonomous Greek community living behind
communal walls, she demonstrates the variety of Greek experience under
the sultans and asks what Ottoman subjecthood meant for Christians in
general, and Greeks in particular. Larger debates in Ottoman
historiography are also integrated into the history of the Greeks. The
book will appeal not only to those interested in the Greek experience,
but Ottoman historians as well.
