Die letzten Byzantiner
Das Osmanische Reich im Ersten Weltkrieg: Am Abend des 9. August 1917 schießen Kriegsschiffe des verfeindeten Russlands die Kleinstadt Ordu an der Schwarzmeerküste in Brand. Da die christlichen Minderheiten des Reichs verdächtigt werden, den Kriegsgegner insgeheim zu unterstützen, fürchten die ortsansässigen Griechen die Rache ihrer türkischen Nachbarn. Panisch versuchen sie, an Bord der Schiffe zu gelangen. Eine, die es schafft, ist die 15-jährige Alexandra. Doch ihre Heimat sieht sie niemals wieder. Nach dem Krieg werden aus dem Gebiet der heutigen Türkei etwa 1,2 Millionen Griechen zwangsausgesiedelt.0100 Jahre später reist Alexandras Enkel Mirko Heinemann auf den Spuren seiner Familie und der sogenannten Pontos-Griechen durch den Norden der Türkei. Er erzählt, wie Griechen seit der Antike an den kleinasiatischen Küsten lebten, mit Byzanz das Erbe Roms antraten, bis sie in den letzten Jahren des Osmanischen Reichs erst dem aufgeschaukelten Nationalismus und schließlich den Interessen der Großmächte zum Opfer fielen. Eine hierzulande fast vergessene Geschichte, die bis heute das Verhältnis zwischen der Türkei und Europa prägt.
Power Objects in Tibetan Buddhism
In Power Objects in Tibetan Buddhism: The Life, Writings, and Legacy of Sokdokpa Lodrö Gyeltsen, James Duncan Gentry explores how objects of power figure in Tibetan religion, society, and polity through a study of the life of the Tibetan Buddhist ritual specialist Sokdokpa Lodrö Gyeltsen (1552–1624) within the broader context of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Tibet. In presenting Sokdokpa’s career and legacy, Gentry traces the theme of power objects across a wide spectrum of genres to show how Tibetan Buddhists themselves have theorized about objects of power and implemented them in practice. This study therefore provides a lens into how power objects serve as points of convergence for elite doctrinal discourses, socio-political dynamics, and popular religious practices in Tibetan Buddhist societies.
The Great Betrayal

Genocide in the Ottoman Empire
The final years of the Ottoman Empire were catastrophic ones for its non-Turkish, non-Muslim minorities. From 1913 to 1923, its rulers deported, killed, or otherwise persecuted staggering numbers of citizens in an attempt to preserve “Turkey for the Turks,” setting a modern precedent for how a regime can commit genocide in pursuit of political ends while largely escaping accountability. While this brutal history is most widely known in the case of the Armenian genocide, few appreciate the extent to which the Empire’s Assyrian and Greek subjects suffered and died under similar policies. This comprehensive volume is the first to broadly examine the genocides of the Armenians, Assyrians, and Greeks in comparative fashion, analyzing the similarities and differences among them and giving crucial context to present-day calls for recognition.
