332 | Connections and Questions to Consider
Chapter
Chapter 22 connects with many other chapters in terms of nationalism (chapters
15, 18, 19, 20, and 21) and migration from, within, and into the empire (chapters 2,
10, 13, 15, 16, 20, and 21). It also connects with chapters 3, 4, 14, 15, 17, 18, 21, and
22 in terms of the empire’s relations with and treatment of its religious minor-
ity communities, particularly regarding communities that the Ottoman state
deemed threatening (chapters 4, 20, and 21). Finally, it intersects with chapters 1,
20, and 21 concerning identity and political allegiance.
- What did it mean in the late Ottoman world to be a foreign subject, an impe-
rial citizen, and a religious minority, and how did persons in these catego-
ries negotiate their status and identity? - How did notions of imperial belonging, citizenship, and minority ethnic
identities shift given the changing political circumstances and specific life
circumstances of the individual characters?
