The Yorouks by Aleksey Kalyonski

Abstract

PhD Kalyonski attempts to reveal “the hidden” beneath the surface of the official ottoman terminology Yorouk social structures of the ХV-ХVІІ centuries. In his eyesight falls even the unexplored late period of the Balkan Yorouks – the end of XVII to the first decades of the XX century, as well as the separate research of a local case – in a part of today’s Southwest Bulgaria. “The Yorouks” is a book of high scientific value. Its text is consulted with every leading expert in this scientific field and the results are in unison with the patterns in the world and regional studies. Moreover, it is a testament for the Bulgarian humanities sciences, because obviously Bulgarian ottoman studies in the face of PhD Kalyonski have evolved to a more mature state
