In the face of population decline due to epidemics, migration, and territorial losses in early nineteenth-century Turkey, Ottoman elites initiated a programme aimed at population growth. Gülhan Balsoy draws on previously untapped archival sources to explore how these demographic concerns transformed reproduction into a deeply political experience in Ottoman society between 1838 and 1900.
