Slight wear to spine, covers & corners. ; "Islam under the Double Eagle: The Muslims of Bosnia and Herzegovina, 1878-1914" by Fikret Karcic provides a detailed historical account of the Muslim community in Bosnia and Herzegovina during the Austro-Hungarian rule from 1878 to 1914. This period marked significant socio-political changes as the Austro-Hungarian administration sought to modernize and integrate the region into the empire, while navigating the complexities of religious and ethnic diversity. Karcic explores how these transformations affected the Muslim population, focusing on their legal status, educational reforms, and the introduction of new political structures. The book critically examines the role of Islamic institutions and leaders in mediating between the imperial authorities and the local Muslim community, detailing their response to modernization efforts and their participation in the public sphere. Additionally, Karcic discusses the impact of external influences, such as pan-Islamism and the Young Turk movement, on the local Muslim identity and political activism. Through meticulous research, "Islam under the Double Eagle" offers valuable insights into the challenges and adaptations faced by Bosnia and Herzegovina's Muslims at a crucial juncture in their history. ; Ex-Library; Octavo (standard book size).
