Maksudyan, Nazan
Orphans and Destitute Children in the Late Ottoman Empire
“As we move from the most intimate, infant foundling, to the larger international context of missionary orphanages, Maksudyan is able to write a rich and engaging history not only through disciplined passion, but also through meticulous research reproduced from one chapter to the next.”—Jamila Bargach, author of Orphans of Islam: Family, Abandonment, and Secret Adoption in Morocco
