| Summary |
"Explores 5 centuries of changing attitudes toward children and childhood in the Ottoman Empire. How did adults, religious institutions and the state view children during the Ottoman Empire? This volume gathers specialists in the social history of the Ottoman Empire as a whole -- in regions ranging from Anatolia through the Arab provinces to the Balkans, and from the 15th to the early 20th century -- to respond to recent theoretical calls to recognise children as active agents in history."-- Provided by publisher. |
