The political identities of the Turkish working class began a transformative journey that started during a period of industrialization following World War II and continued until the military interventions of 1960. Working Class Formation in Turkey addresses common, structural generalizations to recover the complex history of developing political, recreational, familial, residential, and work-related lives of Turkish workers. Drawing on a wide range of historical sources, this volume brings the concept of “everydayness” to the fore and uncovers the local contexts that fostered class solidarity, examines labor practices that fueled radicalism, and analyzes the shifting dynamics of industrial discipline that impacted working class identity and culture.
In recent years bitter controversies have erupted across Europe and the Middle East about women’s veiling, and especially their wearing of the face-veil or niqab. Yet the deeper issues contained within these controversies – secularism versus religious belief, individual freedom versus social or family coercion, identity versus integration – are not new but are strikingly prefigured by earlier conflicts. This book examines the state-sponsored anti-veiling campaigns which swept across wide swathes of the Muslim world in the interwar period, especially in Turkey and the Balkans, Iran, Afghanistan and the Soviet republics of the Caucasus and Central Asia. It shows how veiling was officially discouraged and ridiculed as backward and, although it was rarely banned, veiling was politicized and turned into a rallying-point for a wider opposition. Asking a number of questions about this earlier anti-veiling discourse and the policies flowing from it, and the reactions which it provoked, the book illuminates and contextualizes contemporary debates about gender, Islam and modernism.
Orhan Tez, bu kitabında ‘Küçük kitaba övgü’yle başlayıp AVM’ler yokken oynanan çocuk oyunlarını anlatıyor, ardından kısa bir eşekname’ye geçiyor; ne bilsek faydası var, diyerek dünyada kaç insan yaşadığını, zeytinlerin neden küçüldüğünü, krizin edebiyatı etkileyip etkilemediğini, şiddeti, değişen dünyayı anlattığı denemeleriyle bulmaya, bilmeye, demeye çalışıyor; balıkların çığlıklarından söz ettikten sonra Türkçeyle söyleşiyor, Püfürizmalar adını verdiği eğlenceli aforizmalarla eğleşip ‘Büyüteç öyküler’le kitabını bitiriyor. Bu kitabın, aklınızı gezintiye çıkarmak için bir fırsat olduğunu düşünüyoruz. Yayınevi: Cinius Yayınları
