Description: "Historian Eric R. Dursteler reconsiders identity in the early modern world to illuminate Veneto-Ottoman cultural interaction and co-existence, challenging the model of hostile relations and suggesting instead a more complex understanding of the intersection of cultures and religions. Although dissonance and strife were certainly part of this relationship, he argues, coexistence and cooperation were more common."--BOOK JACKET.
