    Worth reading not only for its account of the birth of modern Greece, but also as an account of the prototype for nationalist movements in the Ottoman empire.

    Anybody -- and I think some classicists might fall under this description -- with an inclination to sentimental philhellenism should read this book, if only to learn how central massacres of Muslims were to the construction of the Greek national identity. The author also does not spare the reader the horrors of Ottoman reprisals.

    The book will also provide food for thought for open minded readers interested in Israel/Palestine*, showing as it does how recent has been the construction "national" identities in this region and how crucial the intervention of external imperial powers has been to this construction.

    *I hope that such readers exist!

    • Wahhabism and the Ottoman Empire from my perspective as an Indonesian Muslim, it's gonna be long, so it'll likely take wayy long to write because I originally wanted to post this on Threads, but *coughs*

    • some anti-imperialism piece, which you can see as a continuation of my Orientalism article

    • I'll be posting an answer to a question that I got from my website's contact form (wrzky.com/contact) — feel free to send your questions too btw
