Abstract
The first reason why this study is valuable for researchers and readers is that
the author addresses the issue by using a wide range of the Ottoman archive documents
and the work may enable us to see the attitude of the Ottoman state towards
emigration and the policies it implemented. Secondly, the book extensively
focuses on emigrations after the Crimean War and War of 1877-8 because emigrations
took a massive character during those wars and their aftermath. Moreover,
it should be noted that the author has mentioned some important points
such as the reasons of the emigrations (the policy of Christianisation, taxation
and forced labour, exile and massacres, emigration routes and temporary settlement
places and settlement activities, reliefs supplied for the immigrants such as
the food and accommodation relief, the land allocation, the exemption granted
for the immigrants, and so on).
