The Parallel State
Photographer Guy Martin investigates the blurred lines between reality and fiction in Turkey.
Racism and the Administration of Justice
In 1994, up to a million men, women and children were slaughtered in Rwanda in just 100 days. The genocide showed how quickly racism - in this case in the form of ethnic hatred - can erupt into bloodshed and despair, particularly when it is fuelled by those in power or hose seeking power. Racism, to varying degrees and in various forms, infects virtually every country of the world. The law and its administration, which should uphold the values of justice and equality, is one of the primary forces in opposing the effects of racism.Yet justice systems all too often fail in this purpose and instead mirror the prejudices of the society they serve. Based on research conducted by Amnesty International in recent years, this publication shows that members of ethnic minorities often suffer torture, ill-treatment and harassment at the hands of the police. In many parts of the world, they face unfair trials and discrimintory sentencing which puts them at increased risk of harsh punishments, including the death penalty. Action to combat racism is needed urgently. This report concludes with recommendations on how governments can work to end racism in the administration of justice.
Sara
"This is the memoir of Kurdish revolutionary Sakine Cansız. Sakine, whose code name was 'Sara', co-founded the PKK in 1978 with Abdulah Öcalan and others, and dedicated her life to the cause of Kurdish freedom. On 9 January 2013 she was assassinated in Paris by a Turkish intelligence agent."--Page [4] of cover.
Neoliberal Turkey and its Discontents
The 'neoliberal' economic policy of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's AKP Party, which has delivered extraordinary growth in Turkish GDP over the last decade, has been one of the foundations of the party's popular appeal. Here, a group of experts on Turkish political economy show how these policies have also had a detrimental impact on the environment, sustainability and the long-term health of the Turkish economy. Taking the two main sectors of growth during the past decade-energy and construction-as its primary focus, the book engages broadly with the political economy of inequality and sustainability in contemporary Turkey. Ultimately, the authors argue that 'environmental conflicts' in Turkey are not merely about the environment but intersect with contemporary politics of religion, ethnicity, gender, and class within the context of top-down, modernising economic development. Neoliberal Turkey and its Discontents marks an important contribution to debates around the economic growth of Turkey and the future of the AKP's long-term economic plan.
Edebiyat ve Müzik (Karabatak #43)
SÖZ KANATLANMAK İSTEDİĞİNDE Söz, kanatlanmak istediğinde müzik atına biniyor. Bu yüzden “sözden ziyade musikiye yakın” şiir. Bir Haşim değil bunu söyleyen. Hiçbir büyük yazar ve şair yok ki bu görkemli koroda yerini almasın. 1953 yılında günlüğüne şunları yazıyordu Tanpınar: “Ben bundan sonra yalnız musikiden bir şeyler ümit edebilirim. Hayatımı onun etrafında kurmaktan başka hiçbir çarem yoktur. Bunu on yıldır düşünüyorum. Gecikmesi hiçbir şey ifade etmez. Tek çarelerde zaman kaybedilmesinin kıymeti olamaz. Ben ancak musikiden hareketle, onun vasıtasıyla poetik dünyamı kurabilir, yani kendime bir iç âlem hazırlayabilirim!...
The Crimean Tatars
This volume provides the most up-to-date analysis of the ethnic cleansing of the Crimean Tatars, their exile in Central Asia and their struggle to return to the Crimean homeland. It also traces the formation of this diaspora nation from Mongol times to the collapse of the Soviet Union. A theme which emerges through the work is the gradual construction of the Crimea as a national homeland by its indigenous Tatar population. It ends with a discussion of the post-Soviet repatriation of the Crimean Tatars to their Russified homeland and the social, emotional and identity problems involved.
The Cambridge History of the Kurds
The Cambridge History of the Kurds is an authoritative and comprehensive volume exploring the social, political and economic features, forces and evolution amongst the Kurds, and in the region known as Kurdistan, from the fifteenth to the twenty-first century. Written in a clear and accessible style by leading scholars in the field, the chapters survey key issues and themes vital to any understanding of the Kurds and Kurdistan including Kurdish language; Kurdish art, culture and literature; Kurdistan in the age of empires; political, social and religious movements in Kurdistan; and domestic political developments in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Other chapters on gender, diaspora, political economy, tribes, cinema and folklore offer fresh perspectives on the Kurds and Kurdistan as well as neatly meeting an exigent need in Middle Eastern studies. Situating contemporary developments taking place in Kurdish-majority regions within broader histories of the region, it forms a definitive survey of the history of the Kurds and Kurdistan.
