Technology transfer provides an ideal mode of address to the primary theme in the historiography of technology: that change is contingent on the political, cultural, and social settings in which technologies operate. Peter Mentzel uses this theme to examine transportation technology of the late Ottoman Empire, and the sociological and cultural effects of European technology transfer—specifically steamship and railroads—introduced in the mid-nineteenth century.
Peter Mentzel is Associate Professor of History at Utah State University. He has published extensively on the nineteenth and early twentieth century social and political history of the Balkans and the Ottoman Empire, and was guest editor of a special issue of Nationalities Papers on Muslim Minorities in the Balkans (vol. 28, no.1, March 2000). His most recent publications focus on the societal ramifications of the transfer of railroad technology into the Ottoman Empire. His grants have included a Fulbright Research Fellowship to Turkey (1998–99) and a grant from the American Research Institute in Turkey (1999)
