It shows how attention to ambiguity opens up new modes of reading and sustains interdisciplinary dialogue. Organized around processes of conversion, Islamization and assimilation, the volume foregrounds social and cultural configurations of individuals and communities, often described as hybrid, liminal, syncretic or heterodox. Through compelling case studies of communities such as the \u003ci\u003edönme\u003c\/i\u003e, Kurdo-Armenians, Hemshinlis and Yezidis, as well as individuals with non-Abrahamic and agnostic orientations, the volume demonstrates that ambiguity plays a constitutive role in negotiating identity and belonging in the Ottoman Empire and Turkey.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe eBook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.
