SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
This dissertation examines comparisons of American and Ottoman slavery as conveyed primarily in nineteenth-century American newspapers, as well as various international relations between the United States of America and the Ottoman Empire. Through extensive examination of archival materials, I examine how slavery is deeply embedded in each nation's culture, so deeply embedded in many culture-defining ways, that it also influences the present, as my last chapter on twentieth-century film portrayals of African Turkish women argues.
