Product Description

A lively and original study tracing the development of 'laziness' as a social problem in the Ottoman Empire over the long nineteenth-century. Hafez explores the anxiety about productivity that generated reforms as well as new understandings of morality, subjectivity, citizenship, and nationhood among the Ottomans.
