Ilan Karmi’s study of Istanbul’s nineteenth-century Jewish community is based on painstaking research conducted in Istanbul as well as other notable cities, such as Edirne, Salonika and Izmir. Karmi interest is in the legal, political, social and economic impact of the Tanzimat reforms on the Jewish population, and he shows how the Istanbul Jewish community changed during the course of the most intensive period of reforms (1839-1878). Karami demonstrates that the Tanzimat opened up many opportunities for Jews and other non-Muslims to enter state service. However, the changes also stirred up internal conflicts which damaged relations between factions within the Jewish community of Istanbul. Karami has made an important contribution to our understanding of Ottoman Jewry but also our understanding of Ottoman reform in general. Table of Contents
