Reviews

"This book is a great accomplishment and sheds light on numerous important aspects of Palestine in this last decade of the empire's existence." - Seth Frantzman, Digest of Middle East Studies "The study is very well written, combining data from various local and foreign sources with enlightened analysis ... This is a very important study of a crucial period in the Ottoman Empire and Palestine. Although it focuses on Palestine, it provides broad analysis of basic issues of the time, with implications on current affairs in the 21st century." - Rachel Simon, Association of Jewish Libraries "It is impossible to do justice to the complexity of the author's arguments or to the astonishing material that she has meticulously mined and superbly analyzed. Campos' study complicates and enriches our understanding of the late Ottoman Empire, including Palestine, and as such represents an original and exceedingly readable contribution to the field." - Najwa al-Qattan, Journal of Palestine Studies "Ottoman Brothers contains a detailed examination of the closing years of the Ottoman Empire... Campos does a fine job of describing the forms of cooperation that developed between the adherents of the different religions." - Lary Poston, Missiology "Rarely does a book's cover capture so well its contents and arguments as does the photograph on Michelle Campos's excellent book Ottoman Brothers: Muslims, Christians and Jews in Early Twentieth-Century Palestine. Ottoman Brothers is engaging and clearly written... It is an innovative, original study of the late Ottoman Empire (and Palestine) and its confessional and inter-communal nature, which also contributes to a greater understanding of the citizenship discourse and its competing ideologies in multi-ethnic and multi-national settings." - Abigail Jacobson, Journal of Levantine Studies
