Book Synopsis The Politics of Reproduction in Ottoman Society, 1838–1900 by : Gülhan Balsoy
Book excerpt: Epidemics, migration and territorial losses led to population decline in early nineteenth-century Turkey. In response, Ottoman elites began a programme of population growth. Balsoy uses previously untapped archival sources to examine these developments, arguing that these changes caused reproduction to become a political experience.
