Responding to American Missionary Expansion: an Examination of Ottoman Imperial Statecraft, 1880-1910 Responding to American Missionary Expansion: An Examination of Ottoman Imperial Statecraft, 1880-1910 Emrah Sahin Department of History McGill University, Montréal August 2011 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy © Emrah Sahin, 2011 ii Abstract American missionaries made a lasting impact on education and religion in the late Ottoman Middle East. After the 1880s, provincial-level conflicts increased and affected diplomatic relations between the United States and the Ottoman Empire. Much scholarship examines Washington-based papers and missionary collections, depicting—perhaps unconsciously—the Turks as uncompromising hosts and the missionaries as saviours or U.S. agents. This dissertation exposes these stereotypes by emphasizing the complexity and variation of the historical actors and their interactions. It places concerned parties within the context of Ottoman imperial statecraft and defines the central government as a sophisticated and powerful actor on missionary issues. Reading previously untapped Ottoman archival sources through analytical eclecticism, the dissertation analyzes central government responses to missionary expansion and, more specifically, how changing circumstances affected the ways in which the fin-de-siècle government approached increasing numbers of missionaries, their institutions, publications, and local-level legal cases. In addition to offering a nuanced and detailed account of Ottoman-missionary relations, the dissertation also provides: an alternative periodization for the topic; new historical narratives to the scholarship; and historical context for the contemporary debate over missionary activity in the Ottoman Empire. iii Résumé Les missionnaires américains ont eu un impact durable sur l’éducation et la religion dans le Moyen-Orient ottoman vers la fin du XIXe siècle. Après les années 1880, les conflits ont augmenté dans diverses provinces ottomanes et ont affecté les relations diplomatiques entre les États-Unis et l’Empire ottoman. Bon nombre de travaux de recherche sont fondés sur une analyse de documents rédigés par des officiels américains et de recueils de textes rédigés par des missionnaires, et l’on y dépeint, peut-être inconsciemment, les Turcs comme des hôtes intransigeants, et les missionnaires, comme des sauveurs ou des agents américains. Dans la présente thèse, nous exposons ces stéréotypes en soulignant la complexité et la diversité des acteurs historiques et de leurs interactions. Nous plaçons les parties concernées dans le contexte de l’appareil gouvernemental impérial ottoman et définissons le gouvernement central comme un acteur complexe et puissant dans les questions liées aux activités des missionnaires. En examinant des documents jusqu’alors inexploités tirés des archives ottomanes, par éclectisme analytique, nous étudions les réponses du gouvernement central à l’expansion des activités des missionnaires et, plus précisément, l’incidence des circonstances changeantes sur l’approche adoptée par le gouvernement de fin de siècle vis-à-vis du nombre croissant de missionnaires, de leurs institutions et de leurs publications, et vis-à-vis des disputes juridiques qui survenaient à l’échelle locale. En plus de faire un exposé détaillé et nuancé des relations entre l’Empire ottoman et les missionnaires, la iv présente thèse offre une périodisation alternative du sujet, apporte de nouveaux récits historiques qui s’ajouteront à l’historiographie des missionnaires et fournit un contexte historique pour les débats contemporains sur les activités des missionnaires dans l’Empire ottoman. v Acknowledgments In April 2001, I went to Uygur Kocabaşoğlu, the History Chair at Middle East Technical University, Turkey. Two months prior to graduation, I asked his opinion about examining the role of religion in East-West relations. “Look in that mirror,” he said, pointing to the cheval glass next to the office door, “and tell me, do you see a man who can juggle that huge ball of research?” I looked and saw nothing; I did not even understand what it had to do with my anatomy. I now get the sarcasm behind the chair’s question, and know that my research project indeed needed extensive research, stronger perspective, specialization, inspiration, funding, guidance, and a supporting team. Aykut Kansu, Güçlü Tülüveli, and Seçil Karal Akgün taught me the basics of the historian’s craft; Halil İnalcık, Stanford Shaw, and Timothy Roberts framed my perspective on approaching history; Gil Troy, Jason Opal, John Zucchi, Leonard Moore, and Thomas Jundt helped me to crystallize and specialize; Kemal Karpat and Üner Turgay inspired my endeavours; the Turkish Cultural Foundation and McGill University offered partial funding for the project. The vital elements of success were guidance and teamwork: the perfect supervision of Laila Parsons, wonderful editing of Michael Wiseman, analytical-stylistic contributions of Hasher Majoka, and research-logistics assistance from Haluk Gelgeç, Raymond Esfandi, and my wife Sema Karagöz Şahin gifted me with a dream team. This dissertation is a product of this team. It is also a statement of how far my project has come since the last time I looked into “that mirror.” vi Table of Contents Note on Transliteration__________________________________________ ix 1.

On Wednesday, 18 April 2007, a group of five men, identified as “young” and “Muslim,” attended a sermon at the Zirve Bible House, a mission and publishing firm in the south-eastern city of Malatya. The Turkish convert- pastor, Necati Aydın, was lecturing from the Bible when the carnage began. The group tied Aydın and his parishioners Uğur Yüksel and Tilman Geske to chairs, and murdered them brutally.1 Reactions to this bloody incident were uniform in their outrage. International Christian Concern, an influential human rights group based in Washington, called it “satanic.” The Zirve Bible House director Hamza Özant, himself having been threatened, wished they would have received police 1“Turkish Believers Satanically Tortured for Hours Before Being Killed,” 25 April 2007, online; Laura King, “3 men slain at Bible publishing firm in Turkey,” Los Angeles Times, 19 April 2007, online. Birch recalls earlier incidents that contributed to the debate. “In 2005 Molotov cocktails thrown at the International Protestant church in Ankara caused £5,000 damage. And last year an American missionary in the south-eastern city of Gaziantep was bound and gagged by two assailants... Although they did not kill him, the attackers promised to come back and finish him off unless he and his family left Turkey immediately.” Nick Birch, “Three Murdered at Turkish Bible Publishing House,” The Guardian, 19 April 2007, online.

    The Sheikh and the Missionary: Notes on a Conversation on Christianity, Islam and Kurdish Nationalism Owen Robert Miller Bilkent University Kamal Soleimani* El Colegio de México, Centro de Estudios de Asia y África Introduction n the morning of October 11, 1881, Henry Otis Dwight, an American missionary and newspaper correspondent for the New York Tribune paid a visit to the Kurdish Naqshbandi Sheikh Ubeydullah. For the last few months, Sheikh Ubeydullah, originally Ofrom the Hakkâri region, south of Lake Van, had been living in a house near the Yıldız Palace in Istanbul. As the preeminent Naqshbandi sheikh in the Ottoman Empire, descended from the Prophet Muhammad and with hundreds of thousands of ardent followers, Sheikh Ubeydullah was accorded a certain amount of official respect, receiving food daily from Sultan Abdülhamid II’s personal kitchen. However, he was also, as Dwight observed, “for all intents and purposes a prisoner.”1 A year before this meeting, in October 1880, Sheikh Ubeydullah had led a predominantly Kurdish army into the northern plains of the Qajar Empire.2 Over the course of ten days, part of Ubeydullah’s army would lay siege to the city of Urmia.

    Protestant Missionaries to the Middle East: Ambassadors of Christ or Culture? by Pieter Pikkert Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Theology in the subject of Missiology at the University of South Africa Promoter Dr. William Saayman Submitted May 2006 1 I declare that Protestant Missionaries to the Middle East: Ambassadors of Christ or Culture? is my own work and that all the sources I have used or quoted have been indicated or acknowledged by means of complete references. Acknowledgements I would like to thank Dr. Brian Johnson, American Board historian and keeper of its library in Istanbul, Turkey, not just for giving me unlimited access to the many treasures contained therein, but also for pointing out potentially useful books and articles I might have overlooked. I also thank Norine Love, librarian of the Fellowship of Faith for Muslims library in Toronto, Canada, for allowing me take books to the Middle East and letting me keep them for months at a time. Dr. Philip Wood, former director of WEC Canada, the mission agency I am affiliated with, encouraged me to pursue this doctorate in the first place; his successor, Henry Bell, has been unstinting in his support since Philip’s return to the Congo. I also thank my promoters, Dr. Marge Karecki and Dr. William Saayman for being faithful communicators and gentle guides and encouragers from afar. Anna, my best friend, faithful wife and “partner in the gospel” for over 20 years never wavered in her faith in the value of this project for the missionary community in the Middle East.

  • The Dispossession of Ottoman Armenians During the World War I Genocide
    The Dispossession of Ottoman Armenians during the World War I Genocide Dr. Uğur Ümit Üngör Associate Professor Department of History Utrecht University This paper traces the Turkish government’s economic policies towards the Armenian population from the Young Turk coup d’état in 1913 to the fall of the regime in 1918. It will chart how this policy moved from boycott to discrimination, into confiscation and outright plunder, resulting in the mass pauperization of the victims. It identifies main currents and developments of this ruthless policy and how it affected Ottoman Armenian communities. The boycott movement Well before the war, the hawks within the Committee of Union and Progress urged peremptorily for the nationalist ideology to be translated into real economic action. The CUP launched a boycott movement against Western businesses as well as Ottoman Christians. In the period 1911-1914, the scope of the boycott movement gradually expanded and intensified. Initially economic boycotts were initiated against Habsburg businesses, soon to be followed by boycotts of Greek merchants, and in early 1914 ultimately also employed against Armenians. In a painstaking study of the boycott movement in the Ottoman Empire, Doğan Çetinkaya has concluded that the boycotts enjoyed the endorsement among wide circles of supporters, including port workers, immigrants, merchants, urban notables, low-ranking officers, professional classes, and peasants. The boycotts were truly a national project, a mass movement that transcended the antipathies and struggles that may have existed between classes. United in a tightly-organized empire-wide network, local trading networks and traditional guild organizations joined hands in the movement.
