Karen Barkey's Empire of Difference: The Ottomans in Comparative Perspective, published by Cambridge University Press in 2008, is a peer reviewed scholarly study comparing Ottoman governance of religious and ethnic difference against other historical empires. Its authority rests on standard university press review and Barkey's standing as a historical sociologist of empire. It is a comparative macro historical argument rather than a specialist study of any one Ottoman religious community, so a claim about a particular group's experience benefits from a source focused on that community specifically.
