Island & Empire is out today! Over many years of research & writing, one critical question persisted: how to narrate a story of connectedness through an island? I wrote this book with the hope of stimulating new conversations on colonialism, violence, displacement & protest.

Island & Empire is one year old already, here photographed next to a rose plucked from the mountains of Sfakia in Crete. As the book turns one year old, I'm happy to share reviews by two historians I admire: Ella Fratantuono and Laura Robson. @stanfordpress

Yiğit Akın'ın Birinci Dünya Savaşı'na dair muazzam çalışması artık Türkçede! Bu kitabı ilgiyle ve heyecanla çevirdim. Umarım siz de öyle okursunuz.

Yiğit Akın, Birinci Dünya Savaşı’nın toplumsal tarihine bakıyor; başka bir deyişle, savaşı salt askerî-siyasi boyutunun ötesinde, toplumsal bir olay olarak inceliyor.

Thank you so much to Pınar and Meriç for organizing these two engaging events back-to-back, one on Ottoman borderlands & the other on Ottoman science and technology. An open buffet of history and so much food for thought that I'll stay full for a while.

Once I was in a hurry. Rushing out of a store, I really didn't notice the guy holding the door for me. But he shouted after me, "What do we say? We say thank you!" It was an embarrassing reminder that I happened to live in a high frequency thank you society.

I reviewed Leyla Amzi-Erdoğdular's wonderful book "The Afterlife of Ottoman Europe: Muslims in Habsburg Bosnia Herzegovina" for JOTSA. Link and text below for those interested.

Bugün benim doğumgünüm. Islahat fermanının da doğumgünü. O benden 124 sene önce doğmuştu. 1839 yılında ilan edilen Tanzimat fermanıyla karışmasın!.

1964 yılında NATO tarafından hükümetin sponsorluğunda yapılan bu kısa tanıtım ve propaganda filmi enteresan bir tarihi döküman.

Excited to present Island and Empire today at Northwestern! It's -11 celsius right now but I'm hoping that talking about Crete will make it feel a little warmer.
Please join Northwestern MENA on Monday, January 13 at 12:30 pm in University Hall 201, for a book talk by the Winter Quarter 2025 New Directions in Middle East and North African Studies speaker, Uğur Zekeriya Peçe of LeHigh University, co-sponsored by KMTS.

The best thing about this is that I was on the island with Sam. Happy New Year!.
In the 1890s, Ottoman Crete descended into communal violence between its Christian & Muslim inhabitants. Uğur Z. Peçe explains how this conflict, which he deems a civil war, came about, what it meant for everyday lives, and how it shaped the Empire's end.
