Description: "Afterlife of Empire examines the ways in which Bosnian Muslims - native Balkan Slavs - navigated the Ottoman and Habsburg realms, developing a relationship with the new authorities in Vienna and transforming their interactions with Istanbul and the rest of the Muslim world. Broadening these geohistorical and disciplinary confines, this book addresses questions of international law and diplomacy, trans-regional Islamic history, Pan-Islamic thought, and Islamic notions of global modernity"--
Review Quotes: "Crossing over multiple intellectual networks and travel routes, Leyla Amzi-Erdogdular opens an expansive view of the emerging debates between the late Ottoman and Habsburg empires. Taking us through Sarajevo, Istanbul, Vienna, and many surprising stops along the way, her outstanding analysis contributes insights about overlapping allegiances and transimperial notions of sovereignty that will resonate with scholars well beyond Balkan history." --Edin Hajdarpasic, Loyola University Chicago
