The Ottoman Empire's "Wild West": The Balkan Borderlands in the 15th and 16th Centuries
29.99 €
In the 16th century, the northeastern Balkans transformed from a sparsely populated borderland into one of the key centers of Islamic life. Nikolay Antov traces the process of Islam’s rooting on the Ottoman outskirts – not as a single system, but through a multitude of local practices integrated into everyday life.

Based on administrative, legal, and literary sources, the author demonstrates how Islam became an integral part of the regional landscape and how, in parallel, the Ottoman Empire itself was transformed – from a flexible border structure to a centralized state.

The book presents a new perspective on the history of Islamization, the formation of the empire, and the role of the Balkans in the Ottoman world.
