dc.description.abstract This study explores the relations between Orthodox Christians (Rums) and Muslims from the beginning of the Tanzimat (1939) to the Exchange of popu-lations between Greece and Turkey (1923). Focusing on the Turkish- and Greek-speaking Christian communities living in the villages and towns of the region of Cappadocia in the heart of Anatolia (i.e., the countryside surround-ing the towns of Kayseri, Niğde, Nevşehir, and Aksaray) as well as on their interactions with Muslim populations that share the same settlements or live in neighboring villages. It asks how, in a rural context, forms of individual, communal, and collective identification were locally negotiated by ordinary people, at a time when nationalisms transformed and apparently strengthened identities based primarily on religious affiliation. The ways to share space, to organize economic networks, or to negotiate matrimonial strategies, religious conversions, worship places, and ritual practices are explored to ask if inter-actions may belong to a collective identity that transcends boundaries be-tween religious groups.
