Turkish nationalism in the Young Turk era
Amongst the products of the French Revolution, the idea of nation exerted the deepest influence on the East. In the Ottoman Empire, the concept bore a fresh idea of an Ottoman nation even though the term Ottoman in itself comprised many ethnic groups. Alongside Ottoman nationalism, Turkish nationalism arose in the latter half of the nineteenth century; it became predominant in the Young Turk era. Organizers of Turkish nationalism were scattered not only in the Ottoman Empire but also in Russia. This book analyzes such complicated aspects of the development of nationalism in the Young Turk era with careful attention to both specific and general problems. The author has chosen four leading nationalist periodicals as a clue for settling the issue. He has thereby demonstrated that these periodicals are very useful for history and political science studies as well as for that of literature. In addition, a table of contents of the periodicals dealt with in the text has been added as an appendix, which should be of considerable benefit to concerned scholars and students.
ON THE TRAIL OF LITERATURE: A CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF LOVER, CHILD AND IDIOMS
Throughout history, individuals in every society have sought to articulate their feelings, thoughts, desires, problems, and experiences, in both written and verbal forms, with the aim of conveying them to others. For this reason, poets, philosophers, writers, artists, or the people themselves have consistently sought to articulate the human condition in some form. Despite the assertion that "there are no unspoken words under the sky," it is evident that each individual has experienced and held unique thoughts and emotions. Consequently, a vast array of writings has been produced by those who have articulated their perspectives on the subject from diverse perspectives. This book presents the ...
The Limits of Westernization
In a 2001 poll, Turks ranked the United States highest when asked: "Which country is Turkey's best friend in international relations?" When the pollsters reversed the question—"Which country is Turkey's number one enemy in international relations?"—the United States came in second. How did Turkey's citizens come to hold such opposing views simultaneously? In The Limits of Westernization, Perin E. Gürel explains this unique split and its echoes in contemporary U.S.-Turkey relations. Using Turkish and English sources, Gürel maps the reaction of Turks to the rise of the United States as a world-ordering power in the twentieth century. As Turkey transitioned from an empire to a nation-stat...

Grammatology and Literary Modernity in Turkey
The 1928 Turkish alphabet reform replacing the Perso-Arabic script with the Latin phonetic alphabet is an emblem of Turkish modernization. Grammatology and Literary Modernity in Turkey traces the history of Turkish alphabet and language reform from the mid-nineteenth to the mid-twentieth century, examining its effects on modern Turkish literature. In readings of the novels, essays, and poetry of Ahmed Midhat, Recaizade Mahmud Ekrem, Omer Seyfeddin, Ahmet Hamdi Tanpinar, Peyami Safa, and Nazim Hikmet, Nergis Erturk argues that modern Turkish literature is profoundly self-conscious of dramatic change in its own historical conditions of possibility. Where literary historiography has sometimes idealized the Turkish language reforms as the culmination of a successful project of Westernizing modernization, Erturk suggests a different critical narrative: one of the consolidation of control over communication, forging a unitary nation and language from a pluralistic and multilingual society.
Sleeping in the Forest
Sait Faik may well be named "the Turkish Chekhov." In Turkey, critics and readers regard him as their finest short story writer. Since his death in 1954 at the age of forty-eight, his stature has grown on the strength of his narrative art, which is both realistic and whimsical with a poetic touch. Süha Oguzertem, a premier authority on Turkish fiction, writes in his introduction to Sleeping in the Forest that "As an anti-bourgeois writer and fierce democrat, Sait Faik has always sided with the underdog" and that no characters remain " 'common' or 'ordinary' once they enter Sait Faik's stories; his piercing gaze and thoughtful vision transform them lovingly into unique beings." Sait Faik's f...
Hasan Âli Yücel
Cumhuriyet tarihinin en uzun süreli eğitim bakanı Hasan Âli Yücel hakkında etraflı bir biyografi. Yücel’in özdeşleştiği etkili bakanlık icraatı, başta hümanist kültür mirasıyla ilgili çeviri seferberliği ve Köy Enstitüleri tecrübesi, kitabın uzun bir bölümünü oluşturuyor. Fakat sadece o değil. Yücel’in milliyetçilik anlayışı, Kemalizm yorumları, dindarlığı anlama ve yaşama biçimi, geniş yer tutuyor. Bu arada onun üslûbuna ve meşrebine özel bir ilgiyle eğilerek... Hasan Âli Yücel’in düşman imgesi olarak, anti-komünist tehdit ve nefret söyleminin gözde bir malzemesi olarak gördüğü işlev de ele alınıyor. Çalışma esasen bir entelektüel biyografi özelliği taşıyor; yazdıklarına, söylediklerine yoğunlaşarak, Yücel’in düşünce dünyasında bir gezinti.
The Politicization of Islam
Combining international and domestic perspectives, this book analyzes the transformation of the Ottoman Empire over the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. It views privatization of state lands and the increase of domestic and foreign trade as key factors in the rise of a Muslim middle class, which, increasingly aware of its economic interests and communal roots, then attempted to reshape the government to reflect its ideals.
