The Kurdish National Movement in Turkey

Zamanın Sabrı
ZAMANIN SİHRİ SABIR, LANETİ İSE TEKERRÜRDÜR. Bizi biz yapan, aldığımız kararları etkileyen en temel şey hatırladıklarımız ve unuttuklarımızdır. Ancak her seçiş bir vazgeçişi ve ödenmesi gereken bir bedeli beraberinde getiriyor. 90’ların bitmesiyle birlikte unutmayı seçtiklerimiz, yüzleşmediğimiz, hesabını sormadığımız her şeyin bedelini; şimdi kırılgan bir demokraside, güvercin tedirginliğinde yaşayarak ödüyoruz. Sedat Peker ile kapısı kırılan 90’lar odasına giriyoruz birlikte. Bu kitap, içinde yaşarken göremediklerimizi üzerinden geçen 30 yıllık yaşanmışlığın olgunluğu ile hatırlayalım diye yazıldı. O dönem fark etmediğimiz örüntülerin, bugüne etkilerini görmeyi, aklıselim şekilde “Biz nerede hata yaptık?” diye sormayı amaçladı. 40 yaş altındaysanız, duyduğunuz isimlerin, okuduğunuz olayların aslında ne olduğunu sizin için özetledi. Bir anlamda 90’lar odasının kabaca tozunu aldı. Her şeyi raflarına dizdi, kutularına koydu. Kutuların üzerine etiketler yapıştırdı. Zamanın sabrı kapıyı açtı...
Eternal Dawn
Eternal Dawn is a readable, narrative-driven look into the development of the Turkish Republic under the reign of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk. It challenges many existing myths associated with Ataturk's rule and provides insights into the legacies that still define and trouble Turkish politics.
The PKK
The Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) is infamous for its violence. The struggle it has waged for Kurdish independence in southeastern Turkey has cost in excess of 40,000 lives since 1984. A less-known fact, however, is that the PKK now embraces a non-violent end to the conflict, with its leader Abdullah Öcalan having ordered a ceasefire and engaging in a negotiated peace with the Ankara government. Whether these tentative attempts at peacemaking mean an end to the bloodshed remains to be seen, but either way the ramifications for Turkey and the wider region are potentially huge. Charting the ideological evolution of the PKK, as well as its origins, aims and structure, Paul White provides the only authoritative and up-to-date analysis of one of the most important non-state political players in the contemporary Middle East.
Ideological Roots of the Conflict between Pro-Kurdish and Pro-Islamic Parties in Turkey
The current agenda of international politics is full of headline-grabbing conflicts. This book focuses on one such conflict, namely the Kurdish question in Turkey, with recent peace negotiations between Turkey and the PKK having apparently failed. The pro-Islamic ruling party of Turkey (the AK Party) and the ideologically leftist pro-Kurdish parties are the key determinants of this conflict. Their historical development since the inception of modern Turkey is discussed here to demonstrate the similarities and differences between these oppositional social and political groups. In this sense, the book claims that ideological rigidity is one of the core factors shaping the relationship between these parties. As such, the book provides a detailed investigation of the ideological perspectives of the key actors in the conflict in order to gain a better understanding of why the last initiative ended negatively.
Beyond Language
This ethnographic work examines both the colonial language governmentality imposed by the Turkish state and the Kurdish language activism as a response to this system. Through a genealogical study, it calls for a reconsideration of the linguistic condition in Turkey as being more than nationalist, highlighting its foundation in intertwined ideologies of racism, imperialism, and colonialism. It then provides an analysis of new possibilities and directions led by the actors of the Kurdish language movement, which seeks to enhance not only the linguistic but also the socio-political condition of the Kurdish people by taking a "beyond language" approach. The work advances our thinking about language oppression and minority language activism.
