Une ville ottomane à l'âge des Réformes
Series:
The Ottoman Empire and its Heritage, Volume: 11

Nineteenth-century Thessaloniki is one of the showpieces of Ottoman modernity. Based on local archives, this timely book studies the factors of change and dwells both on spatial aspects and socio-economic evolution.
The work deals with city government, demographic growth, and the development of new means of communication. It also examines the artisans of change: dignitaries, philanthropic organisations, social clubs, etc. Part of the volume is devoted to the day-to-day lives of anonymous citizens.
The author has adopted a comparative method juxtaposing the face the city presented in the 1830s with that of 1900. The use of Ottoman sources allows her to paint a new and nuanced picture of urban transformation in the port cities of the Eastern Mediterranean.

All those interested in 19th century Ottoman history, urban history, Jewish and Greek studies, social history of South-Eastern Europe and the Near East as well as Mediterranean studies.

' ...a book [...] that possesses the virtue of pointing the way for future scholars toward a richer and more nuanced exploration of the tanzimat period in the cities of the Ottoman Empire.' Molly Greene, Turkish Studies Association Bulletin, 1998. ? Anastassiadou has written an interesting, comprehensive and important book, one that contributes much not just to many fields, but to many disciplines as well.? K.E. Fleming, Bulletin of the Royal Institute for Inter-Faith Studies, 2000.
