"Istanbul: Living with Difference in a Global City presents a theoretically-guided framing of the city as a site of cosmopolitan intersections from the nineteenth century to the present and is a significant contribution to the field."

Istanbul explores how to live with difference through the prism of an age-old, cutting-edge city whose people have long confronted the challenge of sharing space with the Other. Located at the intersection of trade networks connecting Europe, Asia, and Africa, Istanbul is western and eastern, northern and southern, religious and secular. Heir of ancient empires, Istanbul is the premier city of a proud nation-state even as it has become a global city of multinational corporations, NGOs, and capital flows.
Rather than exploring Istanbul as one place at one time, the contributors to this volume focus on the city's experience of migration and globalization over the last two centuries. Asking what Istanbul teaches us about living with people whose hopes jostle with one's own, contributors explore the rise, collapse, and fragile rebirth of cosmopolitan conviviality in a once and future world city. The result is a cogent, interdisciplinary exchange about an urban space that is microcosmic of dilemmas of diversity across time and space.

"Istanbul: Living with Difference in a Global City presents a theoretically-guided framing of the city as a site of cosmopolitan intersections from the nineteenth century to the present and is a significant contribution to the field."
Erdag Göknar, author of Nomadologies
"Are ‘global cities’ an antidote to populism and nationalism? Istanbul offers some hope" by Nora Fisher Onar
Washington Post
"An interesting and thoroughly researched edited volume about Istanbul."
Middle East Journal
"This book offers an interesting and somewhat offbeat look at Istanbul with the desire to combine diverse approaches to history and anthropology....The book also shifts the gaze to the urban and architectural transformation of Istanbul on which there has been a plethora of academic research. Instead, it emphasizes the perception and use of space by different people and communities, and this may be one of the great strengths of this book."
