Join Kerry and Jayda as they continue to discuss the Ottoman Empire further by engaging with historian Daniel Goffman’s notion of Ottomancentrism. The question is what does it mean to understand the history of the Ottoman Empire as perceived by the Ottomans as opposed to outside observers.

The works referenced in the episode include Daniel Goffman's "Introduction: Ottomancentrism and the West" in The Ottoman Empire and Early Modern Europe (Cambridge UP, 2002); "The Third Letter Dated Constantinople, 1 June 1560" in The Turkish Letters of Ogier Ghiselin de Busbecq Imperial Ambassador at Constantinople, 1554-1562 (Clarendon Press, 1968, first edition 1927); and Eve R. Meyer's "The Image of the Turk in European Performing Arts" in Süleyman the Second and his Time, Halil İnalcık and Cemal Kafadar, eds. (Istanbul: ISIS Press, 1993).
