dc.description.abstract | Türkiye'de 43 yıldır çalışan bir ABCFM misyoneri olan George E. White, deneyimleri hakkında kapsamlı yazılar yazdı. Yazılarının ve diğer ikincil literatürün ışığında, bu çalışma Osmanlı İmparatorluğu'nda misyoner faaliyetin Osmanlı toplumunda bölücü bir rol oynadığını tespit etmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Misyoner odak Osmanlı'da yaşayan Hristiyan halkların yükselişine yardım etti ve dolayısıyla Türk ve Ermeni halkı arasındaki gerginliği artırdı. Dahası, Batı medyasında yaygın olarak dolaşan önyargılı misyonerlik yazıları, dar görüşlü din ve uygarlık alanlarında Batı'da (Ermeniler lehine ve Türklere karşı) önyargılı bir kamuoyunun şekillenmesine yardımcı oldu. | en_US |
dc.description.abstract | George E. White, an ABCFM missionary who worked for 43 years in Turkey, wrote extensively about his experiences. Through the lens of his writings and other secondary literature, this paper aims to establish that missionary activity in the Ottoman Empire played a divisive role on the Ottoman society. Missionary focus on the elevation of the Christian peoples living in Ottoman Turkey exacerbated the tensions between the Turkish and Armenian people. Furthermore, prejudiced missionary writings, widely circulated in the Western media, helped shape a biased public opinion in the West (in favor of the Armenians and against the Turks) on narrow-minded grounds of religion and civilization. | en_US |
