Reading Malte Fuhrmann’s _Port Cities of the Eastern Mediterranean_ today (Cambridge University Press, 2020) and it’s well worth a look, even for those of us who aren’t focused on the #Ottoman Empire or the late 1800s / early 1900s. It’s a good snapshot of his ideas and concepts of “maritime culture” from a rich German historiography that hasn’t been widely read and received in English. #CoastalHistory #CoastalStudies #histodons #Cosmopolitanism
