Margins of Empire will certainly stand as a cornerstone for future research into the construction of Kurdish identity and politics as well as the making of modern eastern Anatolia. -Ryan Gingeras, International Journal of Middle East Studies There should be no doubt that The Margins of Empire will become standard reading for students of Kurdish Studies and for Ottomanists who focus on tribes. - Hakan Ozoglu, Middle East Journal [T]his find study constitutes an essential work for scholars of Ottoman Anatolia and Kurdish history and an instructive one for scholars of empire and indirect rule. - Michael A. Reynolds, American Historical Review Klein sheds light on some of the most important and complicated relations and negotiations the Ottoman officials were engaged in as their empire crumbled around them. She never loses sight of the broader implications of her work in this original, highly valuable look at a significant period in the history of the Middle East. -Resat Kasaba, University of Washington This is a most welcome and very significant contribution to Kurdish history and to the history of the eastern provinces during the late Ottoman period. The rich documentation of the saga of the Kurds as they undergo a very difficult transformation will generate healthy scholarly debate. An excellent book. -Fatma Muge Gocek, University of Michigan The Margins of Empire is a fascinating study of history and the interactions of many peoples with one another. -Midwest Book Review
