    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is avily hi dependent upon the.quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of tichniquesti is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they ^re spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the Imf is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposureand thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the ph otographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the materi <il. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — begi Hning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indiicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat Ijigher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essent al to the understanding of the dissertation.

  • UC Santa Barbara Dissertation Template
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Santa Barbara Protestant Missions, Seminaries and the Academic Study of Islam in the United States A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Religious Studies by Caleb D. McCarthy Committee in charge: Professor Juan E. Campo, Chair Professor Kathleen M. Moore Professor Ann Taves June 2018 The dissertation of Caleb D. McCarthy is approved. _____________________________________________ Kathleen M. Moore _____________________________________________ Ann Taves _____________________________________________ Juan E. Campo, Committee Chair June 2018 Protestant Missions, Seminaries and the Academic Study of Islam in the United States Copyright © 2018 by Caleb D. McCarthy iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS While the production of a dissertation is commonly idealized as a solitary act of scholarly virtuosity, the reality might be better expressed with slight emendation to the oft- quoted proverb, “it takes a village to write a dissertation.” This particular dissertation at least exists only in light of the significant support I have received over the years. To my dissertation committee Ann Taves, Kathleen Moore and, especially, advisor Juan Campo, I extend my thanks for their productive advice and critique along the way. They are the most prominent among many faculty members who have encouraged my scholarly development. I am also indebted to the Council on Information and Library Research of the Andrew C. Mellon Foundation, which funded the bulk of my archival research – without their support this project would not have been possible. Likewise, I am grateful to the numerous librarians and archivists who guided me through their collections – in particular, UCSB’s retired Middle East librarian Meryle Gaston, and the Near East School of Theology in Beriut’s former librarian Christine Linder.

  • Cyrus Hamlin and the American Missionary Work in Turkey
    ON THE EDGE OF THE CIVILIZED WORLD: CYRUS HAMLIN AND THE AMERICAN MISSIONARY WORK IN TURKEY HIMMET UMUNÇ* While he was yet a third-year student at Bangor Theological Seminary in Maine, Cyrus Hamlin received a letter, dated February 4, 1837, from Rey. Dr. William Armstrong of the Prudential Committee, the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, Boston (Hamlin, 1924, p. 158). The letter informed him that he had been assigned as a missionary. to Istanbul in order, as he pointed out later in his memoirs, "to take charge of a high school... and give myself to the work of education" (Hamlin, 1877, p. 28). Although he had been expecting to be assigned to China, he welcomed his transfer to Istanbul with equal satisfaction and was especially thrilled by the prospect that his assignment would provide him ' with the unique opportunity to work with what he called the "excellent and noble associates" of the American mission in Turkey, whose reports and news he had read "with so much interest that I felt acquainted with them" (Hamlin, 1924, p. 159). The missionaries that he so enthusiastically looked forward to being associated with were William Goodell, Harrison Gray Otis Dwight, William G. Schauffler, Henry A. Holmes, Benjamin Schneider, and Philander O. Powers, who had, as the founding fathers of the missions in Turkey, played a very important role in the development and expansion of the missionary effort throughout Turkey and in other parts of the Ottoman Empire. Therefore, on receiving the letter Hamlin got into an ecstatic mood and, in his memoirs afterwards, described his ecstasy as follows: I was profoundly affected by thus being taken up by the Spirit and instantly transferred from China to the Bosphorus.

    Of Women, Faith, and Nation: American Protestantism and the Kyrias School For Girls, Albania by Nevila Pahumi A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History) in the University of Michigan 2016 Doctoral Committee: Professor Pamela Ballinger, Co-Chair Professor John V.A. Fine, Co-Chair Professor Fatma Müge Göçek Professor Mary Kelley Professor Rudi Lindner Barbara Reeves-Ellington, University of Oxford © Nevila Pahumi 2016 For my family ii Acknowledgements This project has come to life thanks to the support of people on both sides of the Atlantic. It is now the time and my great pleasure to acknowledge each of them and their efforts here. My long-time advisor John Fine set me on this path. John’s recovery, ten years ago, was instrumental in directing my plans for doctoral study. My parents, like many well-intended first generation immigrants before and after them, wanted me to become a different kind of doctor. Indeed, I made a now-broken promise to my father that I would follow in my mother’s footsteps, and study medicine. But then, I was his daughter, and like him, I followed my own dream. When made, the choice was not easy. But I will always be grateful to John for the years of unmatched guidance and support. In graduate school, I had the great fortune to study with outstanding teacher-scholars. It is my committee members whom I thank first and foremost: Pamela Ballinger, John Fine, Rudi Lindner, Müge Göcek, Mary Kelley, and Barbara Reeves-Ellington.

ABSTRACT Free Trade & Family Values: Kinship Networks and the Culture of Early American Capitalism Rachel Tamar Van This study examines the international flow of ideas and goods in eighteenth and nineteenth century New England port towns through the experience of a Boston-based commercial network. It traces the evolution of the commercial network established by the intertwined Perkins, Forbes, and Sturgis families of Boston from its foundations in the Atlantic fur trade in the 1740s to the crises of succession in the early 1840s. The allied Perkins firms and families established one of the most successful American trading networks of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries and as such it provides fertile ground for investigating mercantile strategies in early America. An analysis of the Perkins family’s commercial network yields three core insights. First, the Perkinses illuminate the ways in which American mercantile strategies shaped global capitalism. The strategies and practices of American merchants and mariners contributed to a growing international critique of mercantilist principles and chartered trading monopolies. While the Perkinses did not consider themselves “free traders,” British observers did. Their penchant for smuggling and seeking out niches of trade created by competing mercantilist trading companies meant that to critics of British mercantilist policies, American merchants had an unfair advantage that only the liberalization of trade policy could rectify.
