This volume gathers specialists in the social history of the Ottoman Empire as a whole in regions ranging from Anatolia through the Arab provinces to the Balkans, and from the 15th to the early 20th century to respond to recent theoretical calls to recognise children as active agents in history. Divided into 5 thematic sections concepts of childhood, family interrelationships, children outside family circles, children's bodies and education the volume covers the social and political structure of the Ottoman Empire. It uses the innovative prism of children as social agents who are not only shaped by but also shape society, rather than being the passive recipients of their social environment
