Recenzii
This excellent volume skilfully illuminates the shadowy world of pro-state paramilitarism in the borderlands of the late and post-Ottoman world. With in-depth analyses of paramilitaries, bandits, and ethnic violence across the Balkans, Caucasus, and Anatolia, it challenges state-centric narratives and delivers an innovative contribution to understanding nation-building, ethnic victimisation, and the lasting legacies of paramilitary mobilisation in this part of the world.
This wide-ranging and innovative set of studies from the Balkans to the Caucasus offers a new vantage point on the relationship between paramilitary violence, state formation, and political culture in the late-Ottoman and post-Ottoman worlds. By questioning established periodizations of the transformation from empire to nation-states and highlighting the roles of local actors, contributors compel readers to reconsider familiar narratives of these turbulent decades as well as how later generations have memorialized and mythologized paramilitary groups in national histories, a timely project indeed.
