- Title

- Authors
Anderson, Rebecca
- Abstract
The article discusses the conflict of the U.S. with the Ottoman Empire, and its successor, Turkey, as reflected in Turkish folklore featuring the Nasreddin Hodja character conceptualized by American author Samuel Clemens, politician Samuel S. Cox, and Jewish scholar George Alexander Kohut. It is argued that the publications of these individuals reflect cultural assumptions regarding members of ethnic, religious and gender groups during he 19th century.
