{"product_id":"9789004107984","title":"Salonique, 1830-1912","description":"Nineteenth-century Thessaloniki is one of the showpieces of Ottoman modernity. Based on local archives, this timely book studies the factors of change and dwells both on spatial aspects and socio-economic evolution.The work deals with city government, demographic growth, and the development of new means of communication. It also examines the artisans of change: dignitaries, philanthropic organisations, social clubs, etc. Part of the volume is devoted to the day-to-day lives of anonymous citizens.The author has adopted a comparative method juxtaposing the face the city presented in the 1830s with that of 1900. The use of Ottoman sources allows her to paint a new and nuanced picture of urban transformation in the port cities of the Eastern Mediterranean.","brand":"Mérope Anastassiadou","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47512523702590,"sku":"9789004107984","price":0.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/products\/9789004107984.jpg?v=1707781068","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9789004107984","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
