Books by Haim Gerber

A study on the social and economic history of the Jewish communities of the Ottoman Empire during the 16th to 18th centuries with a particular interest in their day-to-day relations with the Muslims.

Focuses on three themes - the socio-economic history of Turkish society in the 17th-18th centuries; the outcome of the Tanzimat (Reforms) in the province of Jerusalem, as an example of the whole phenomenon; and, the historical origins of Turkish and Arab identities leading to the modern phenomenon of nationalism.
