Next week, I will give talk in Turkish at the Marmara University in Istanbul. The topic is "Seeing the Ottoman Caliphate from Africa: Debates on the Issue of Caliphate in the 19th Century West Africa". I will analyze some manuscripts from Sokoto and Timbuktu, comparing them with the Ottoman sources.
Having a background with Sociology, History, and African Studies made one an interesting book reviewer, I think. I did think that writing this review would be so much fun.

It was a great pleasure to present my recent research "The Ottoman Empire Imagined from Africa: Visions of Tripolitan Elites for an Islamic African State under Ottoman Rule" at the Institute of Historical Research in London. There are still much to discover of the global history of Africa.
An introduction, I'm sociologist (B.A.) and historian (M.A. & Ph.D.), working on the global history of the 19th century from the perspective of #Africa and West Asia. My works combine different disciplines such as #AfricanStudies, #OttomanStudies, #IslamicStudies, and #GlobalStudies.
