Venetians in Constantinople: Nation, Identity, and Coexistence in the Early Modern Mediterranean

by Eric R. Dursteler

Book Overview

Historian Eric R Dursteler reconsiders identity in the early modern world to illuminate Veneto-Ottoman cultural interaction and coexistence, challenging the model of hostile relations and suggesting instead a more complex understanding of the intersection of cultures. Although dissonance and strife were certainly part of this relationship, he argues, coexistence and cooperation were more common.
