The Ottoman ‘Wild West’: The Balkan Frontier in the Fifteenth and Sixteenth Centuries by Nikolay Antov
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 2.3 MB
Overview: In the late fifteenth century, the north-eastern Balkans were under-populated and under-institutionalized. Yet, by the end of the following century, the regions of Deliorman and Gerlovo were home to one of the largest Muslim populations in southeast Europe. Nikolay Antov sheds fresh light on the mechanics of Islamization along the Ottoman frontier, and presents an instructive case study of the ‘indigenization’ of Islam – the process through which Islam, in its diverse doctrinal and socio-cultural manifestations, became part of a distinct regional landscape.
