The Revolution of 1908 in Turkey
This is a detailed account and an excellent narrative history of the often neglected period 1906-1908 in Turkey, in which the prelude and aftermath of the revolution and elections of 1908 took place. The year 1908 opened a new era of representative government and the social and political developments leading to the overthrow of the ancien régime are carefully and fascinatingly given. Historians and general readers will find The Revolution of 1908 in Turkey a thought-provoking book, which will resound in the discussion of the validity of Kemalist or quasi-Kemalist historiography and therefore provide a major contribution to the field.
Politics in Post-Revolutionary Turkey, 1908-1913
This book is about domestic politics following the Revolution of 1908 in Turkey. Although seemingly straightforward in its telling of events from the opening of the Parliament in alte 1908 to the re-capture of constitutional government in early 1913, this book is built upon a premise that is fundamentally different from previous studies. Whereas previous studies deal with the period as if conditions were normalised immediately after the Revolution of 1908, this book takes the view that the period under scrutiny is a relentless struggle over the political future of Turkey. The Revolution of 1908 was no mere "restoration" of the Constitution of 1876. It tried to bring about a fundamental chang...

Untold Histories of the Middle East
Much traditional historiography consciously and unconsciously glosses over certain discourses, narratives, and practices. This book examines silences or omissions in Middle Eastern history at the turn of the twenty-first century, to give a fuller account of the society, culture and politics. With a particular focus on the Ottoman Empire, Turkey, Egypt, Iran and Palestine, the contributors consider how and why such silences occur, as well as the timing and motivation for breaking them. Introducing unexpected, sometimes counter-intuitive, issues in history, chapters examine: women and children survivors of the Armenian massacres in 1915 Greek-Orthodox subjects who supported the Ottoman empire ...

Social Relations in Ottoman Diyarbekir, 1870-1915
Social Relations in Ottoman Diyarbekir, 1870-1915 offers new, microhistoric and non-nationalist perspectives on the late 19th century history of the province of Diyarbekir. Focusing on a period dominated by violent conflicts between the authorities and various local elites and population groups of the region – urban Muslims, Kurds, Armenians, Syrian Christians and others – this book offers new insights into the social history of the region and the origins of the Armenian and Kurdish "Questions", which were to gain such prominence in the 20th century.

Being Modern in the Middle East
In this innovative book, Keith Watenpaugh connects the question of modernity to the formation of the Arab middle class. The book explores the rise of a middle class of liberal professionals, white-collar employees, journalists, and businessmen during the first decades of the twentieth century in the Arab Middle East and the ways its members created civil society, and new forms of politics, bodies of thought, and styles of engagement with colonialism. Discussions of the middle class have been largely absent from historical writings about the Middle East. Watenpaugh fills this lacuna by drawing on Arab, Ottoman, British, American and French sources and an eclectic body of theoretical literatur...
The Liberalisation of the Islamists in Turkey During 1990’s: The Debates Around the Medina Document and Civil Society Project
Dr. Unal Giindoan The Liberalisation of the Islamists in Turkey During 1990's: The Debates Around the Medina Document and Civil Society Project This book takes snapshots from the venture of the Islamic Movement during second half of the 1990's in Turkey. It was the Civil Society Project, as proposed by Ali Bulac a prominent intellectual, which claimed to establish philosophical basis for a political and social restructuring of Turkey depending upon the basic premises of the Medina Document, which was signed among Muslims, Jews and Pagans of Medina City just after the Prophet Muhammed's migration in 622. The Project was a break from the tradi-tional understanding of Islamic politics both in Turkey and in the Muslim world. It was because of its focus on pluralism, multi-culturalism, democracy, human rights and many other liberal assumptions. This was a turning point in Turkish politics since the discussions created a liberal atmosphere among Islamist, leftist and rightists which at the end resulted in the mass acceptance of Islamic political parties by the voters since midst 1990's. The rise of first Refah Party and then AK Party owe much to this new understanding.
