The lecture will be given in English.

Uğur Zekeriya Peçe is an Assistant Professor of History at Lehigh University. Drawing on Crete’s multilayered legacy of violence and tracing the Muslims displaced from the island because of civil war in the 1890s, this talk weaves together a story of intercommunal and environmental violence, European military intervention, displacement, and mass protest. Uğur Zekeriya Peçe explores the transformation of Muslim Cretans from silenced refugees in the 1890s to loud protesters after 1908, arguing that the islanders energized late Ottoman politics and society.
