About Book

This volume explores the challenges and opportunities of coexistence in regions formerly under Ottoman rule, focusing on how communities continue to share space despite the lingering shadows of conflict. It addresses how ethnic and religious groups navigate their relationships in the post-Ottoman era, examining various case studies from the Balkans, the Middle East, and beyond. The contributors discuss themes of shared space, memory, reconciliation, and the complexities of maintaining peace in societies shaped by a history of division and violence. Through these perspectives, the book offers insights into the role of coexistence in post-conflict societies and the transformative potential of peacebuilding efforts.
