Turkey and the European Union
This book carefully examines the historical roots of contemporary Western prejudices against both Muslims and Turks, and presents an original theory of collective identity as dramatic re-enactment as a means of understanding the remarkable persistence of medieval stereotypes.
Migration from Turkey to Sweden
The `refugee crisis' and the recent rise of anti-immigration parties across Europe has prompted widespread debates about migration, integration and security on the continent. But the perspectives and experiences of immigrants in northern and western Europe have equal political significance for contemporary European societies. While Turkish migration to Europe has been a vital area of research, little scholarly attention has been paid to Turkish migration to specifically Sweden, which has a mix of religious and ethnic groups from Turkey and where now well over 100,000 Swedes have Turkish origins. This book examines immigration from Turkey to Sweden from its beginnings in the mid-1960s, when t...
Your Life Sucks No More
What do you do, when things in your life, must change? What do you do, when you are so fed up with the way things are? You can give up and pick up apathy, loss of hope and despair. Or you can demand of the universe your birthright - a happy, joy filled life. A life where you are the master of your experience. That's what happened to me. I got to the point in my life, where enough was enough. I was 53. Most of my life I settled for the crumbs. It was time that I sat at the table and had the lobster. But how? That's only for the lucky, the special, the chosen. And then, to my surprise, I learned that the universe has rules! When we learn and experience the rules, things in life fall into place. Decades of being an electrical engineer were paying off. I reverse engineered the universe. As soon as I did, I found I wasn't the first. In fact, these truths have been around .... forever. Allow me to share with you, my experiences with these truths. And the miraculous changes they have brought about in my life. As I share the things that I have discovered, it is my deepest desire that these truths and the change they bring, will become alive in you.
The Ottoman Turks in English Heroic Plays
Contesting the argument that Restoration-period drama referred almost exclusively to domestic social and political issues, this text interrogates the extent to which seventeenth century heroic plays justify and perpetuate stereotypical representations of the Ottoman Turks in Western discourse. It provides a comprehensive account of representation of “the Other” based on difference. Joining historical discussions ranging from the Ottoman Empire’s rise as a world power to the development of British imperial ideology, the book asserts that dramatic texts and production provide a rich and unexamined archive in which the issues of representation, difference, and cultural stereotyping are at...
Cold War University
As the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union escalated in the 1950s and 1960s, the federal government directed billions of dollars to American universities to promote higher enrollments, studies of foreign languages and cultures, and, especially, scientific research. In Cold War University, Matthew Levin traces the paradox that developed: higher education became increasingly enmeshed in the Cold War struggle even as university campuses became centers of opposition to Cold War policies. The partnerships between the federal government and major research universities sparked a campus backlash that provided the foundation, Levin argues, for much of the student dissent that foll...
A Time to Build
A leading conservative intellectual argues that to renew America we must recommit to our institutions Americans are living through a social crisis. Our politics is polarized and bitterly divided. Culture wars rage on campus, in the media, social media, and other arenas of our common life. And for too many Americans, alienation can descend into despair, weakening families and communities and even driving an explosion of opioid abuse. Left and right alike have responded with populist anger at our institutions, and use only metaphors of destruction to describe the path forward: cleaning house, draining swamps. But, as Yuval Levin argues, this is a misguided prescription, rooted in a defective d...
