The book examines how state rule influenced the development of the Muslim population's collective identity as a minority and affected Muslim relations with the Greek authorities and Orthodox Christians. Greece was the first country in the Balkans to become an independent state and a pioneer in experimenting with minority issues. Greece's ruling framework and many state administrative measures and patterns would serve as templates in other Christian Orthodox Balkan states with Muslim minorities (Bulgaria, Romania, Serbia, Cyprus). Muslim religious officials were empowered with authority which they did not have in Ottoman times, and aspects of the Islamic law (Sharia) were incorporated into the state legal system to be used for Muslim family and property affairs. Religion remained a defining element in the political, social, and cultural life of the post-Ottoman Balkans; Stefanos Katsikas explores the role religious nationalism and public institutions have played in the development and preservation of religious and ethnic identity. Religion remains a key element of individual and collective identity but only as long as there are strong institutions and the political framework to support and maintain religious diversity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing from a wide range of archival and secondary Greek, Bulgarian, Ottoman, and Turkish sources, Islam and Nationalism in Modern Greece, 1821-1940 explores the way in which the Muslim populations of Greece were ruled by state authorities\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eauthorities from the time of Greece's political emancipation from the Ottoman Empire in the 1820s until the country's entrance into the Second World War, in October 1940.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book examines how state rule influenced the development of the Muslim population's collective identity as a minority and affected Muslim relations with the Greek authorities and Orthodox Christians.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eGreece was the first country in the Balkans to become an independent state and a pioneer in experimenting with minority issues.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eGreece's ruling framework and many state administrative measures and patterns would serve as templates in other Christian Orthodox Balkan states with Muslim minorities (Bulgaria, Romania, Serbia, Cyprus).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eMuslim religious officials were empowered with authority and authority which they did not have in Ottoman times, and aspects of the Islamic law (Sharia) were incorporated into the state legal system to be used for Muslim family and property affairs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eReligion remained a defining element in the political, social, and cultural life of the post-Ottoman Balkans; Stefanos Katsikas explores the role religious nationalism and public institutions have played in the development and preservation of religious and ethnic identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eReligion remains a key element of individual and collective identity but only as long as there are strong institutions and the political framework to support and maintain religious diversity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 566g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 260 x 161 x 23 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780190652005\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"StefanosKatsikas","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44100531781882,"sku":"9780190652005","price":104.96,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1648206186819_book.jpg?v=1648225779","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/islam-and-nationalism-in-modern-greece-18211940-9780190652005","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
