Kültürel miras içerisinde en önemli yapıtaşlarından biri olup toplumların tarih süresince yaşadığı coğrafyanın özelliklerini yansıtan kültürel bir zenginliktir. Çoğunluğu Bosna-Hersek'te yaşayan Boşnaklar, uzun yıllar boyunca Osmanlı egemenliğinde yaşamını devam ettirmiş bir toplum olup göçlerle Türkiye'nin farklı bölgelerine yerleşmiş ve köyler kurmuşlardır. Bu etkileşim Türklerle pek çok medeniyeti bir araya getirdiği gibi bu medeniyetler içinde önemli yer tutan milletlerden biri olma özelliğini sağlamıştır. Bu çalışmada Boşnakların kültürel kimliğini yansıtmakta önemli payı olan mutfak kültürüne ait özellikler keşifsel bir araştırmayla ortaya konmaya çalışılmıştır. Bu bağlamda özel günleri ve bu günlerde yapılan yemekler, geleneksel yemekler ile Türk mutfağı kültürel etkileşimleri ele alınmıştır. Çalışmada nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme tekniği kullanılmıştır. Çalışma sonucunda Türkiye'de yaşayan Boşnakların önemli bir kısmının mutfak kültürlerine ait yemekleri ve kültürel ritüellerini devam ettirmeye çalıştıkları ancak bu yemeklerin yeni kuşaklarda unutulmaya başlandığı belirlenmiştir.

It is the work of an experienced reader and author of manuscripts in Timbuktu, Mahmoud Mohamed Dedéou, known as Cheikh Hamou. It is therefore a very useful introduction to an often overlooked practice in the art of scholarship in that part of the world.
The Little and the Large: A Little Book and Connected History Between Asia and Africa

The prayer was the Rātib al-Haddād, and it was arranged by a Sufi luminary in Yemen sometime in the late seventeenth or early eighteenth century. It probably circulated orally at first, but its transformation into manuscript and then printed book form is what animates this chapter. Through it we trace the movements of ideas and people between Southeast Asia, Arabia, East Africa, and the Cape. This chapter is an exercise that combines book history with microhistory at a transcontinental level.
Aspects of popular culture and class expression in inner Cape Town, circa 1939-1959

Many texts address this vast space and long stretch of time in other genres, but there are few or none like this one under review. Mu _ hammad ibn 'Umar al-Tu ˉnisī's In Darfur: An Account of the Sultanate and Its People is a unique work for several reasons. It is a nineteenth-century ri _ hla, filled with adventure, personal experiences, and valuable descriptions of court politics, the "manners and customs" of locals, flora and fauna, and quite literally "the lay of the land" in the still-independent Darfur at the beginning of the nineteenth century. Furthermore, it is fascinating for the way it was probably composed. Is the author speaking for himself, or is it also the work of a close collaboration? Whatever the case, it also adds to our understanding of how local scholars and European orientalists collaborated and how lines sometimes blurredbetween teacher and student, between writer and editor, between original and translated or abridged copy. In certain accounts of the region, Islam is said to have been introduced as the "state religion" in Darfur by Sulayman Solongdungo (r. circa 1650-80). In the following 150 years there were dynastic disputes and civil wars along with an expansion of the polity and administrative innovation. Darfur remained an independent entity until it was invaded in the late 1870s (by the infamous Zubayr Pasha), restored in 1898 by Alī Dina ˉr, and finally defeated by the British in 1916. It was then that it became part of "the Sudan" as we have come to know it in the twentieth century. This work sheds some light on the history of this vast space, specifically on a decade of court politics (and probably beyond) in the early nineteenth century. Al-Tu ˉnisī (1790-1857) lived in Darfur between 1803 and 1811, during the reign of Sultan Muhammad al-Faḍl. Insofar as he is the sole author reporting on his experience, he relates what he saw and heard as well as relevant hearsay about earlier intrigues and

It had become a famous place for scholarship by the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, but what was actually written and read there deserves closer study. There are mention of scholars and their works in the well-known chronicles and biographical dictionaries of the region, but the increasing availability of catalogs from individual libraries and collections in Timbuktu makes it possible to study in greater detail the course of reading—and the types of works written and copied—in Timbuktu at least since its apogee as a place of study through to the twentieth century. This article looks in particular at one collection, presumed to have emerged around a scholarly circle or possibly a school, and at its Arabic curriculum, for it was through immersion in Arabic and a command of its grammar and poetry that a scholar could be taken seriously in Timbuktu.
