Description

Paperback. 4to. (29 x 21 cm). In English and Turkish. 466 p. This book is an important contribution to kno.ledge of the historical presence and contribution of the Ottoman Empire and of the role of modern Turkey in Africa. The historical role of the Onomans and modern Turkey in contemporary times has been considerably underappreciated in current scholarship. Gencoglu's book, Turkey-Africa, drawing on the wealth of information in the Turkish Archi-ves is among the first that begins to redress this balance. Not onl. does it indicate a 500-year history and presence in Africa, but also the wealth of information that will throw ne. light on major events affecring the African continent from batt-lefields to diplornacy and from national liberation struggles to current debates about development from a Global South perspective. It is a welcome addition that I hope will encourage scholarship on the Turkey-.Africa relationship. (Prof. Dr. Shahid Vawda University of Cape Town).
