Denial of Violence
Denial of Violence seeks to decipher the roots of the denial by Turkish and Ottoman officials of acts of violence committed against Armenians. Based on a qualitative analysis of over 300 memoirs published in Turkey from 1789 to 2009, Fatma Müge Göçek analyzes denial as a multilayered process that starts with the advent of systematic modernity in the Ottoman Empire in 1789 and continues to this day in the Turkish Republic.
Toward a Cultural History of the Cold War in Turkey
Turkey’s position as the only Muslim-majority member of NATO, coupled with its pivotal role in pursuing Western interests in the Middle East and Western Europe, has attracted significant scholarly attention, particularly in the fields of diplomatic and international relations history. In contrast, the cultural and ideological dimensions of the Cold War have begun to be studied systematically only in recent years. In this light, the book is an attempt to present to an international audience some tassels of the complex mosaic of Turkey’s Cold War by focusing on its cultural and ideological dimensions. Adopting a variety of disciplinary approaches, the essays in this collection examine the interconnections between politics and culture, the anti-communist intellectual landscape, and the role of cultural production and the media, questioning how the global dynamics of the Cold War affected political, cultural, and social change in Turkey.

Islamic Culture and Pre-Islamic Beliefs in Central Asia
The introduction of Islam ushered in an era of social and cultural change to the region. Some pre-Islamic sacred places have been transformed into Islamic ones, and the cult of saints absorbed elements of both local and Arab mythology. This volume which is a project initiated by the Balkan History Association, focuses on Islamic culture, traditions, and pre-Islamic beliefs in Central Asia. The chapters emphasize the importance of religious life, the significance of certain “sacred places,” and their role in the socio-spiritual life. The volume includes research spanning a period from antiquity to the Post-Soviet era to explore how landscapes of religious places and practices were interpreted and reinterpreted through time.

Diener seines Staates
Celal Bayar war ein nationalistischer turkischer Politiker der ersten Stunde, der alle Phasen der Entwicklung der modernen Turkei von der Jungturkenzeit im Osmanischen Reich uber die Grundung der Republik, ihre Konsolidierung und wirtschaftliche Neuorientierung sowie die Wandlung zum Mehrparteiensystem entscheidend mitgestaltete. In den funfziger Jahren des letzten Jahrhunderts wurde er zum dritten Staatsprasidenten der Turkei gewahlt, 1960 durch einen Militarputsch abgesetzt und in der Folge wegen Verfassungsbruchs verurteilt. Diese Ereignisse fuhrten dazu, dass er bis heute eine umstrittene Personlichkeit in der Turkei ist.Im Spiegel der politischen Biographie dieses Mannes wird die Geschichte der Transformation der Turkei dargestellt, ihre Selbstfindung auf politischem wie auf wirtschaftlichem Gebiet kritisch untersucht und schliesslich die einseitig auf Ataturk ausgerichtete Historiographie der Turkei um einen anderen Blickwinkel erweitert.
