Diyab-er-duck
This book was my attempt to tell the story of my one-year assignment to Pirinclik Air Station, Diyarbakir, Turkey. The assignment was to a remote USAF Radar Site in western Turkey, near the city of Diyarbakir, not far from the Syria, Iraq and Iran borders. The events of this book took place during the US Embassy take-over by Iranian students the spring of 1979. However, this book is about the life of the USAF military and civilians assigned to this small radar site - Pirinclik AS, but nick-named "The Duck" by the USAF military and civilians stationed there. The actual name given was "DIYARB-ER-DUCK" following a USO tour visit to Turkey including Bob Hope in the late 1950's or early 1960"s. Bob Hope had difficulty pronouncing Diyarbakir, giving the base the nickname. The book covers a thirteen month period of duty from November 1978 to December 1979 and it also covers some of the many happenings on "The Duck" during that same period. It is light-hearted reading about the dreaded Military Short Tour.
The Kurds in Erdoğan's Turkey
Recording Kurdish voices from Istanbul and Diyarbakir, Turkey's most important Kurdish-populated cities, this book documents Kurdish narratives of oppression and resistance, and enquires how Kurds reconcile their distinct ethnic identity and citizenship in modern Turkey.
Kurds in Erdogan's Turkey
This book examines the circumstances of the Kurds in 21st century Turkey, under the hegemony of the AKP government. After decades of denial, oppression and conflict, Kurds now assert a more confident presence in Turkey's politics - but does increasing visibility mean a rejection of Turkey? Recording Kurdish voices from Istanbul and DiyarbakA r, Turkey's most important Kurdish-populated cities, this book generates new understandings of Kurdish identity and political aspirations. Highlighting elements of Kurdish identity including Newroz, the Kurdish language, connections to religion, landscape and cross-border ties, it offers a portrait of Kurdish political life in a Turkey increasingly dominated by its president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Within the context of Turkey's troubled trajectory towards democratisation, it documents Kurdish narratives of oppression and resistance, and enquires how Kurds reconcile their distinct ethnic identity and citizenship in modern Turkey.

"Originally published in Turkish as Mehdi Zana: Bekle Diyarbakir by Doz Basim ve Yayincilik, 1991."
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.
Diyarbakir
A Cold War drama that ends in the future. Cultures and technologies first collide in the ancient city of Diyarbakir, in the heart of Kurdistan, and end up in America. Join an impetuous lieutenant, a nostalgic stewardess, and an electrical engineer, as they inadvertently become entangled in events of global significance, culminating in an Iranian missile attack on America. Entertaining and informative, this novel is packed with action and packed with history. The ending may not be too far from the truth.
Turkey and the Armenian Ghost
The first genocide of the twentieth century remains unrecognized and unpunished. Turkey continues to deny the slaughter of over a million Ottoman Armenians in 1915 and the following years. What sets the Armenian genocide apart from other mass atrocities is that the country responsible has never officially acknowledged its actions, and no individual has ever been brought to justice. In Turkey and the Armenian Ghost, a translation of the award-winning La Turquie et le fantôme arménien, Laure Marchand and Guillaume Perrier visit historic sites and interview politicians, elderly survivors, descendants, authors, and activists in a quest for the hidden truth. Taking the reader into remote mounta...
