^{#smrgKİTABEVİ} Edirne : Its Jewish Community and Alliance Schools (1867 - 1937) - 2006

PROFESSOR ARON RODRIGUE, CHAIR, THE HISTORY DEPARTMENT, STANFORD UNIVERSITY, STANFORD.

"In the center of the book is the Jewish Community of Ottoman Edirne, one of the most important Jewish communities that thrived in the Ottoman state, that yet received only little attention from scholars until the publication of this important book. By studying the complex interplay and interaction between this Community and the local Alliance schools, Erol Haker brings to the fore the dilemmas and identity crises that Ottoman Jewish communities faced during the last decades of Ottoman rule."
