Between the 1850s and World War I, about one million North Caucasian Muslims sought refuge in the Ottoman Empire. This resettlement of Muslim refugees from Russia changed the Ottoman state. Circassians, Chechens, Dagestanis, and others established hundreds of refugee villages throughout the Ottoman Balkans, Anatolia, and the Levant. Most villages still exist today, including what is now the city of Amman. Muslim refugee resettlement reinvigorated regional economies, but also intensified competition over land and, at times, precipitated sectarian tensions, setting in motion fundamental shifts in the borderlands of the Russian and Ottoman empires.

Empire of Refugees reframes late Ottoman history through mass displacement and reveals the origins of refugee resettlement in the modern Middle East. Vladimir Hamed-Troyansky offers a historiographical corrective: the nineteenth-century Ottoman Empire created a refugee regime, predating refugee systems set up by the League of Nations and the United Nations. Grounded in archival research in over twenty public and private archives across ten countries, this book contests the boundaries typically assumed between forced and voluntary migration, and refugees and immigrants, rewriting the history of Muslim migration in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"A brilliant tour de force. Vladimir Hamed-Troyansky offers a detailed, revisionist understanding of the beginnings of the modern refugee regime."―Dawn Chatty, University of Oxford

"Magnificent and magisterial. Empire of Refugees not only reveals the emergence of a new template for refugee flows in the modern world, but it also captures the human experiences of the refugees themselves: their sorrows, hopes, failures, and successes. A prodigious achievement."―Michael A. Reynolds, Princeton University

"Empire of Refugees is a meticulously researched and imaginatively conceived history of mass migration that represents a genuinely fresh contribution to both late Ottoman history and global refugee studies."―Laura Robson, Pennsylvania State University

"Empire of Refugees offers a fresh take on the late Ottoman state and how the refugee question was a factor in many important events towards the end of the empire. A unique perspective on an under-explored topic, the book enriches Ottoman studies and makes for compelling reading for anyone interested in history."―Usman Butt, Middle East Monitor

hilal isler
5.0 out of 5 stars fascinating!
Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2024
this compelling, endlessly readable text offers a reinterpretation of late ottoman history through a focus on mass displacement — tracing the roots of refugee resettlement in turkey and the middle east.

come for the extensive archival research, stats, and tables; stay for the heartwarming/wrenching stories of individual families and places. i had NO IDEA north caucasian refugees settled amman for instance. and the tale of fuat khutat's family, of sayetkhan's boss lady-energy i won't soon forget.

this book challenges conventional distinctions between forced and voluntary migration, as well as refugees and immigrants, presenting a new narrative of muslim migration in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. i am richer for having read it. five stars.
