Bøker av Isa Blumi

This collection of Isa Blumi's essays comprises one historian's attempts at understanding the late Ottoman Empire through a series of studies of Ottoman Albania and Yemen.

This book focuses on the western Balkans in the period 1820-1912, in particular on the peoples and social groups that the later national history would claim to have been Albanians, providing a revisionist exploration of national identity prior to the establishment of the nation-state.

Examines the reasons behind the political and social chaos in Yemen. Comparing history with the events, this title provides essential historical background to understanding the situation as in large part an expression of authoritarian rule.
