ABSTRACT

Migrations from Balkans to the Ottoman Empire continued for about 150 years; and peaked during the wars such as the 1877–78 Ottoman-Russian War and the Balkan Wars. Balkan immigrants with multi-ethnic, multicultural backgrounds and settling in with monocultural host communities faced hostility. We analysed these conflicts through official Ottoman archives, testimonies, and literary memoirs for the period of 1912 and 1917. Through the lenses of the conflict model of migration, we have explored the dynamic nature of migration processes in response to conflicts emerged between immigrants and local population in this period. We argue that Balkan immigrants faced insecurities arising from socio-cultural conflicts and this adversely affected the integration process.

摘要

从巴尔干到奥斯曼帝国的迁徙持续了大约150年。并在1877–78年的奥斯曼帝国俄罗斯战争和巴尔干战争等战争中达到顶峰。具有多种族，多元文化背景并与单文化寄宿社区定居的巴尔干移民面临敌对情绪。我们通过1912年至1917年期间的奥斯曼帝国官方档案，证词和文学回忆录分析了这些冲突。通过移民冲突模型的视角，我们探索了移民过程的动态性质，以应对移民与当地居民之间出现的冲突。这个时期的人口。我们认为，巴尔干移民面临着因社会文化冲突而产生的不安全感，这对融合进程产生了不利影响。
