Book Synopsis

A revelatory examination of the multiple constructions of urban modernization



Trade Review

"Late Ottoman Izmir provides a fascinating case study for Sibel Zandi-Sayek’s book. Her analysis of the physical settings and her use of architecture and urban forms as primary documents to understand the social fabric make her approach particularly intriguing." —Zeynep Celik, Distinguished Professor, New Jersey Institute of Technology
