Turkey & the Ottoman Empire


2013
At the height of its power, the Ottoman Empire held sway over much of southeast Europe, Western Asia and North Africa. With Constantinople its capital, the empire was a fusion of cultures, languages and inuences from east and west. Following the demise of the Ottoman Empire, Turkey became a Republic in 1923 and is now a thriving economy and an increasingly inuential force in the modern world. We are delighted to present our new 2013 publications on Turkey and the Ottoman Empire. As a world leader in Turkey & Ottoman Studies, we seek to represent the richness of the empires history along with the most topical debates.

A SHORT HISTORY OF THE BYZANTINE EMPIRE

Dionysios Stathakopoulos
Kings College, University of London

Nicholas N. Patricios
University of Miami
The Byzantine Empire was one of the most impressive imperial adventures in history. Dionysios Stathakopoulos here tells a compelling story of military conquest, alliance and reversal, including the terrifying secret weapon of Greek re. His new short history is above all a narrative of individuals: of powerful rulers like Justinian I, who recovered Italy from the Vandals and oversaw construction of Hagia Soa (completed in 537); of his notorious queen Theodora, a courtesan who rose improbably to the highest ofce of imperial rst lady; of the charismatic but cuckolded general Belisarius; and of the religious leaders Arius and Athanasius, whose conicting ideas about Christ and doctrine shook the Empire to its core.

The churches of the Byzantine era were built to represent heaven on earth: architecture, art and liturgy were intertwined in them to a degree that has never been replicated elsewhere. Nicholas N. Patricios here offers a comprehensive survey, from the age of Constantine to the fall of Constantinople, of the nexus between buildings, worship and art. His identication of seven distinct Byzantine church types, based on a close analysis of 370 church building plans, will have considerable appeal to Byzantinists. Beyond categorising and describing the churches themselves, which are richly illustrated with photographs, plans and diagrams, the author interprets the sacred liturgy that took place within these holy buildings. Focusing on buildings in twenty-two different locations, this sumptuous book is an essential guide to individual features and the wider signicance of Byzantine art and architecture.

A Tenth-century Treatise on Arab-Byzantine Relations

Court and Society in the Medieval Middle East

A.C.S. Peacock and Sara Nur Yldz (Eds)


University of St Andrews

Maria Vaiou
Sabanci University, Istanbul

Arab messengers played a vital role in the medieval Islamic world and its diplomatic relations with foreign powers. An innovative treatise from the 10th Century (Rusul al-Muluk, Messengers of Kings) is perhaps the most important account of the diplomacy of the period, and it is here translated into English for the rst time. Rusul al-Muluk draws on examples from the Quran and other sources which extend from the period of al- jahiliyya to the time of the Abbasid caliph al-Mutasim (218-227/833-842). In the only medieval Arabic work which exists on the conduct of messengers and their qualications, the author Ibn al-Farra rejects jihadist policies in favour of quiet diplomacy and a pragmatic outlook of constructive realpolitik.

Dr Vaiou succinctly characterizes the texts nature and purpose... The text will be of very great interest to historians of Islam, both cultural and political historians, and also to Byzantinists and medievalists in general.

Under Seljuk rule (c. 1081-1308) the formerly Christian Byzantine territories of Anatolia were transformed by the development of Muslim culture, society and politics, and it was then well before the arrival of the Ottomans that a Turkish population became rmly established in these lands. But these developments are little understood, and the Seljuk dynasty remains little studied.Yet the Seljuks of Anatolia were one of the most inuential dynasties of the thirteenth-century Middle East, controlling some of the major trade routes of the period, playing a crucial role in linking East and West of the medieval world. This volume examines Seljuk culture and history by looking at developments both at court and in society at large, and sheds new light on Seljuk political culture and dynastic ideology, the engagement of politics with religion, and Christian-Muslim interaction.

This impressive scholarly volume opens up several new lines of research into the turbulent and little-known history of Seljuk Anatolia.

In 1543, the Ottoman eet appeared off the coast of France to bombard and lay siege to the city of Nice. The operation came in response to a request from Franois I of France for assistance from Sultan Sleyman the Magnicent in Frances struggle against Charles V, the Habsburg Holy Roman Emperor and King of Spain. This military alliance between mutual indels, the Christian French King and the Muslim Sultan, aroused intense condemnation on religious grounds from the Habsburgs and their supporters as an aberration from accepted diplomacy. Allies with the Indel places the events of 1543 and the subsequent wintering of the Ottoman eet in Toulon in the context of the power politics of the sixteenth century. Relying on contemporary Ottoman and French sources, it presents the realpolitik of diplomacy with indels in the early modern era.

It has often been assumed that the subjects of the Ottoman sultans were unable to travel beyond their localities since peasants needed the permission of their local administrators before they could legally leave their villages. According to this view, only soldiers and members of the governing elite would have been free to travel. However Suraiya Faroqhis extensive archival research shows that this was not the case. Pious men from all walks of life went on pilgrimage to Mecca, slaves escaped from their masters and craftspeople travelled in order to look for work. Faroqhi shows that even those craftsmen who did not travel extensively had some level of mobility and that the Ottoman sultans and viziers, who spent so much effort in attempting to control the movements of their subjects, could do so only within often very narrow limits. Challenging existing historiography and providing an important new perspective, this book will be essential reading for students and scholars of Ottoman history.

Beginning on the eve of Oceanic exploration, and the rst European forays into the Indian Ocean and the Middle East, The Ottomans and the Mamluks traces the growth of the Ottoman Empire from a tiny Anatolian principality to a world power, and the relative decline of the Mamluks historic defenders of Mecca and Medina and the rulers of Egypt and Syria. Cihan Yksel Muslu traces the intertwined stories of these two dominant Sunni Muslim empires of the early modern world, setting out to question the view that Muslim rulers were historically concerned above all with the idea of Jihad against non-Muslim entities. Through analysis of the diplomatic and military engagements around the Mediterranean and Indian Ocean, Muslu traces the interactions of these Islamic super-powers and their attitudes towards the wider world.

In the century after 1530, the Catholic Monarchy of the Habsburgs and the Muslim Sultans of the Ottoman Empire fought a maritime war of ambiguous achievements. Lasting peace was as unlikely as nal triumph and major campaigns seemed destined to lead nowhere, in part because the salient feature of this war was a form of piracy practiced by the North African Barbary corsairs. It was also a war of unequal means, since the Habsburgs had too few good warships and the Ottomans too many bad ones. Phillip Williams here provides a detailed examination of the nature of what came to be seen as a Holy War between Christendom and the Islamic World in the early modern Mediterranean. He considers the cultural and historical outlook of the protagonists, including the Habsburg rulers Charles V and Philip II and the Ottoman Sultan Sleyman the Magnicent, examining the extent to which the dictates of prudence triumphed over ideals of performing the service of God.

Romanticism had its roots in fantasy and fed on myth. So Roderick Cavaliero introduces the nineteenth-century European Romantic obsession with the Orient. Cavaliero brings on a rich cast of leading Romantic writers, artists, musicians and travellers, including Beckford, Byron, Shelley, Walter Scott, Pierre Loti, Thomas Moore, Rossini, Eugene Delacroix, Thackeray and Disraeli, who luxuriated in the exotic sights, sounds, literature and mythology of the Orient. Cavaliero analyses the Romantic vision of the Orient from Ottoman Turkey, through the Middle East, including Egypt and Persia, to the Vale of Kashmir. The book will delight all readers interested in tales of the Orient and the literature of the Romantic movement a rich treasure-house of poets, novelists and travellers.

Railway expansion was symbolic of modernisation in the late nineteenth century, and Britain, Germany and France built railways at enormous speed and reaped great commercial benets. In the Middle East, railways were no less important and the Ottoman Empires Hejaz Railway was the rst great industrial project of the twentieth century. A route running from Damascus to Mecca, it was longer than the line from Berlin to Baghdad and was designed to function as the artery of the Arab world linking Constantinople to Arabia. Built by German engineers, and instituted by Sultan Abdul Hamid II, the railway was nancially crippling for the Ottoman state and its eventual stoppage 250 miles short of Mecca (the railway ended in Medina) was symbolic of the Ottoman Empires crumbling economic and diplomatic fortunes. This is the rst book in English on the subject.

The network of freemasons and Masonic lodges in the Middle East is an opaque and mysterious one, and is all too often seen within the area as a vanguard for Western purposes of regional domination. But here, Dorothe Sommer explains how freemasonry in Greater Syria at the end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth century actually developed a life of its own, promoting local and regional identities. Indeed, the lodges attracted more participants such as the Trad Family, the Jurji Yanni Yaziji Family, Hassan Bayhum, Alexander Barroudi and Khaireddeen Abdulwahab than any other society or fraternity. Freemasonry in the Ottoman Empire analyses the social and cultural structures of the Masonic network of lodges and their interconnections at a pivotal juncture in the history of the Ottoman Empire.

During the nal decades of Ottoman rule, Palestine was administratively divided into two states, Jerusalem and Beirut. As the Ottoman Empire began to recede, the education systems, taxation and bureaucracy which were left behind formed the foundation of administration in the Palestinian authority today. The reign of Sultan Abdlmecid I saw great changes in Palestine, in line with the Tanzimat reform programme. At the heart of these radical shifts in thought and infrastructure were the new administrative centres established by the Ottomans during this period of re-organisation. Drawing extensively on ofcial Ottoman records, Farid Al-Salim charts the transformation of one such centre, Tulkarm, from a small village in central Palestine to a seat of administrative reform in order to provide a new account of the forces behind the formation of modern Palestine.

Mustafa Kemal latterly and better known as Atatrk is without doubt the towering gure of modern Turkish history. But what was his path to power? And how did his early career as a soldier in the Ottoman army affect his later decisions as President? The Young Atatrk tracks the lesser covered period of Kemals life from the War of Independence to the founding of the Republic and shows that it is only by understanding Kemals military career that one can fully comprehend how he evolved as one of the twentieth centurys most extraordinary statesmen. Delving into Kemals military writings, orders, and political decisions, speeches, proclamations and private correspondences, this book provides a rounded and nuanced portrait of the making of a major statesman.

In its transition from eighteenth-century capital of the Ottoman Empire to economic powerhouse of the Turkish Republic, Istanbul has been altered beyond recognition. This intricate and original account charts the urban transformation of an iconic and hybrid city and, through this, delves into the broader arena of Turkeys history. After the establishment of the Republic, Turkey increasingly turned to the West for ideas about how to develop a modern culture, and Istanbul became a forum for different regimes to display their political, ideological and social policies in the context of the built environment. Murat Gl traces the impact of these changing policies on the very fabric of the city itself its streets, buildings and landscapes to present a compelling account of the dramatic changes to Turkeys most important metropolis.

The Ottoman Empire maintained a complex and powerful bureaucratic system which enforced the Sultans authority across the Empires MiddleEastern territories. This bureaucracy continued to gain in power and prestige, even as the empire itself began to crumble at the end of the nineteenth century. Through extensive new research in the Ottoman archives, Dogan Gurpinar assesses the intellectual, cultural and ideological foundations of the diplomatic service under Sultan Abdlhamid II. Ottoman Imperial Diplomacy presents a new model for understanding the formation of the modern Turkish nation, arguing that these Hamidian reforms undertaken with the support of the Young Ottomans led by Namik Kemal constituted the beginnings of modern Turkish nationalism.

Led by General Allenby, British troops entered Jerusalem in December 1917, thereby ending Ottoman rule and opening a new and important era in the history of Jerusalem. This historical moment has often been described as the beginning of a period of great change and transformation, depicting the British as the real modernisers of Jerusalem. In this study, Mazza does not offer just another history of Jerusalem. He focuses on the often neglected transition from Ottoman rule to British administration, examining the impact of the First World War and considering the socio-political changes which occurred as a result of the transition. Through the extensive use of case studies and unpublished archival material from Spain and Vatican archives, Mazza takes a fresh approach to this period of Jerusalems history; focusing on a previously overlooked area and opening the eld to new perspectives and research.

In the age of the Great Powers, with Russia and France at war, and the Ottoman Empire at the height of its inuence and majesty, the British diplomat Stratford Canning arrived in Constantinople. The cousin of George Canning, he would be Britains representative in the power politics of the Middle East for almost two decades, and was instrumental in the events which led up to the Crimean War and the events surrounding the eastern question of the nineteenth century. In The Voice of England in the East, Steven Richmond reconstructs the diplomatic priorities of the period through the private papers and letters of a key British statesman, comparing them with Ottoman accounts written in the Sultans court for the rst time. The result is a new analytical history of the late Ottoman Empire, British diplomacy in the era of Palmerston and the reality of politics in the great game of the nineteenth century.

Once hailed as the eternal state, the Ottoman Empire was in decline by the end of the nineteenth century, nally collapsing under the pressures of World War I.Yet its legacies are still apparent, and few have had more impact than those of its schools and educational policies. Empire and Education under the Ottomans analyses the Empires educational politics from the mid-nineteenth century, amidst the Tanzimat reform period, until the Young Turk Revolution in 1908. Through a focus on the regional impact of decrees from Istanbul, Emine . Evered unravels the complexities of the era, demonstrating how educational changes devised to strengthen the Empire actually hastened its demise. This book is the rst history of education in the Ottoman Middle East to evaluate policies in the context of local responses and resistance, and includes the rst published English translation of the watershed 1869 Ottoman Education Law.

The practice of petitioning the Ottoman Sultan was a well-known institution which existed in one form or another throughout Ottoman history and enabled Ottoman subjects, far from the capital of Istanbul, to convey their grievances directly to the supreme ruler. Here,Yuval Ben-Bassat examines the petitions, including many previously unpublished ones, sent during the last decades of the Empire to the Ottoman Sultan Abdlhamid II. The petitions enable Ben-Bassat to explore Palestines history in this formative period from a unique perspective, providing rst-hand accounts of the dilemmas, struggles, acts, concerns, schisms and transformations Palestinian society experienced. Petitioning the Sultan will be of great interest to a broad audience of specialists studying the history of the Middle East, the Ottoman Empire, and Palestines late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century world.

Bosnia enjoyed a special status within the Ottoman Empire. Many of the empires janissaries, an elite military stratum of soldiers and nobleman, hailed from this Balkan region. So when Sultan Mehmet II abolished this warrior class in 1826, and this curtailed the regions access to inuence in Constantinople, Bosnia rebelled. Under the leadership of Husein Gradacevic, the dragon of Bosnia, the kingdom declared independence and waged war with the Ottoman Empire. For the rst time, Fatma Sel Turhan illuminates a period of crucial importance to the Balkan regions. She argues convincingly that the uprising was a response to Ottoman moves towards modernization designed to save the Ottoman Empire from decline, but which eventually led to its demise. She assesses how far the uprising can be considered a nationalist movement, who the rebels were, and how the central authorities dealt with and punished the perpetrators.

From Global Imperial Power to Absolutist States

For almost four hundred years, between the fall of Constantinople in 1453 and the Greek War of Independence, the history of Greece is shrouded in mystery: distorted by Greek writers and largely neglected by others. What was life really like for the Greeks under Ottoman rule? How did the Greeks and Turks co-exist for so long? In this wide-ranging yet concise history, David Brewer explodes many of the myths about Turkish rule of Greece. He places the Greek story in its wider, international context and casts fresh light on the dynamics of power not only between Greeks and Ottomans but also between Muslims and Christians, both Orthodox and Catholic, throughout Europe. This absorbing and riveting account of a crucial period will ensure that the history of Greece under Turkish rule is no longer hidden. It will delight anyone with an interest in Greek and Turkish history and in how the past has shaped the Greece we know today.

The Holy Roman Empire and the Ottoman Empire, especially under their charismatic leaders Charles V and Suleyman I, were major empires of the early-modern period. Both exercised global power as, respectively, leaders of the universal res publica Christiana and dar-es Islam. However, both lost supreme power in the course of the 17th and 18th centuries and began the transformation to absolutist nation states. This account of the important transition to modern notions of statehood is vital for understanding the reform strategies of both empires in administration, taxation, conduct of foreign policy and formation of the modern state. Mehmet Sinan Birdal draws upon original historical sources and the teachings of Habermas and the Frankfurt School for the doctrine of legitimation as the theoretical basis for political authority in this original and revisionist work.

Tulips and coffee are dening cultural products of the Ottoman eighteenth century, along with their related institutions of palace and coffeehouse. These cultural products hold multiple meanings in the history and historiography of the period. They are associated with the daily life of common people and their sociabilities, on the one hand, and with the Ottoman court and imperial legitimacy, on the other. Ottoman Tulips, Ottoman Coffee offers a critical exploration of denitive cultural phenomena of the Ottoman eighteenth century, such as the coffee house, the printing press, imperial architecture and royal pageantry and festivals. Chapters explore subjects ranging from the changing forms of imperial ritual in Ottoman circumcision celebrations, to the history of the construction of the famed palace of Saadabad, to the reputedly failed project of the rst Ottoman printing press. In doing so, the book reassesses the history and unravels the historiography of the so-called Tulip Period.

The defeat of the Ottoman Empire in the Balkans in 1475 at the Battle of Vaslui heralded the beginnings of a historic legacy. The victor became known as Stephen the Great or Athleta Christi, Champion of Christ. Perceived as the founder of a Balkan identity, Stephen the Great maintained Moldavias independence during periods of erce Ottoman attack between 1457 and 1504. His Christian religious stance meant that, in the eyes of Europe, he had not only defeated a signicant territorial threat but had elevated Christianity to a superior level as victors over their Muslim opponents. This book seeks to unveil the mechanisms behind this legacy, to review the state formations that allowed this national hero to emerge, and to explain the methods that preserve his memory in the region today. By combining the latest historical studies of the anti-Ottoman resistance with new archaeological ndings, Jonathan Eagles engages with a fresh approach to the history of the Balkans, and reinvigorates the study of the Ottoman Empire in Europe.

In an increasingly globalised world, the engagement of diasporic communities in trans-nationalism has become a potent force. Here, Banu Senay argues that expanding channels of communication have provided the Turkish state with more scope to mobilize its nationals abroad around ofcial Kemalist ideology in this case, in Australia. It is through the prism of long-distance Kemalism that this book explores ideas of nationalism identity politics and cross-border mobilization. While the Turkish state injects its presence into everyday life through its consular institutions and its management of Islam it is the work of activists that gives efcacy to the long arm of Kemalism. However, the Australian multicultural context challenges this by giving a platform to groups, such as Kurds or Armenians, whose identity politics clash with that of Turkish ofcialdom. This book provides important new material for researchers of international politics, nationalism and migration.

In 2005 Turkey introduced a set of legal reforms that were aimed at curbing incidents of honour killings and punishing those responsible. But in the years since this reform, there are still reports of gender-based violence and such honour killings in which someone (usually a woman) is killed due to the perception that they have brought dishonour upon their family or community are still taking place. Here, Nur Banu Kavakli Birdal asks: what has gone wrong? What is problematic about the relation between written law and reality? Why has this new law not had a lasting impact on womens everyday lives? In looking at the interplay between state and society through the lens of honour killings, Birdal offers a sociological insight into modern Turkey which will appeal to those involved in the study of this country and the wider region.

Eric Hobsbawm famously called late twentieth-century Turkey the last stronghold of the peasantry. Turkeys unique social, cultural and economic development after World War II kept intact a large social group which had all but disappeared in the rest of Europe by the 1960s. In the rst period of Turkish multi-party democracy, this peasantry were re-invented, re-dened and imagined by various political factions as Turkey attempted to shed its Ottoman past. Through the translation of village literature, the agency of this previously unheard voice is revealed, along with its role in the formation of Turkey. A cutting edge reassessment of the role of the Turkish peasantry, this is the rst study of its kind, and will become an integral part of the history of the modern Turkish nation.

The question of Kurdish identity and belonging is counted among the most controversial and challenging issues in modern Turkey. Kurdish Life in Contemporary Turkey cuts to the heart of this debate in an exploration of shifting ethnic identities brought on by the processes of extensive rural-urban labour migration. As well as analysing the effects of migration on social networks and local political landscapes, this volume examines how Kurdish gender roles have changed. The everyday experiences of rural-urban migrants from Van province, on the south-eastern borders of the country, are central to this book, but they are inextricably linked to conicting discourses on Kurdishness and the place of this minority in Turkey.

Redening State and Society from the Ottoman Empire to the Modern Era

Hans-Lukas Kieser (Ed.)


University of Zurich

In 1923, the Modern Turkish Republic rose from the ashes of the Ottoman Empire, proclaiming a new era in the Middle East. However, many of the contemporary issues affecting Turkish state and society today have their roots not only in the history of the republic, but in the historical and political memory of the states imperial history. Here Fatma Mge Gek draws on Turkeys Ottoman heritage and history to explore current issues of ethnicity and religion alongside Turkeys international position. This new perspective on historys inuence on contemporary tensions in Turkey will contribute to the ongoing debate surrounding Turkeys accession to the EU, and offers insight into the social transformations in the transition from Ottoman Empire to Turkish nation-state.

Nationalism was a dening characteristic of Turkey in the twentieth century, and was a central driving force in Ataturks foundation of the Republic in 1923. How did the prominence of Kemalist ways of political thinking affect its people and its policies? To what extent has Turkeys EU candidature been a vehicle of transformation since 1999 and what would EU membership mean for modern Turkey? This book explores the historical impact of Kemalism, anti-liberalism and westernization and examines the conditions which have contributed to the countrys evolution away from a nationalist political identity. Tracing the development of nationalism from its founding period before the Young Turk Revolution of 1908 to the present AKP government and analysing key factors such as the position of minorities in the Turkication process and the inuence of state and society centred religious politics this strong and signicant contribution casts a new light on a vivid international debate.

The Left and the Transformation of the Republican Peoples Party

Yunus Emre
The RPP (Republican Peoples Party) stands as Turkeys main opposition party one of two major political blocs, second only to Erdoans ruling AK Party. Also known as the CHP (Cumhuriyet Halk Partisi), it was the founding party of Atatrks republican regime and has a history of hostility towards leftist parties. Despite this, by the mid-1960s, the RPP had re-orientated itself as left of centre, as the growing inuence of the left inside the RPP pushed it in a new direction. This is hailed as the entry point of social democratic politics into Turkey, and is the focus of Yunus Emres impressively researched book. He tracks the uctuations in Turkish politics from the single-party period to the making of a new regime following the 1960 coup, looking at the place of both the RPP and the left in this trajectory, making this essential reading for scholars of Turkish politics and modern history.

The rst decade of the twentieth century was the Ottoman Empires imperial twilight. As the Empire fell away, the beginnings of a young and radical Turkish nationalism took root in Anatolia. The summer of 1908 saw the Young Turks attempt to revitalise Turkey with a constitutional revolution aimed at reducing the power of the Ottoman Sultan, Abdul Hamid II. Drawing on popular support for the defence of the Ottoman Empires Balkan territories, the Young Turks promised to build a nation from the people up, rather than from the top down. Here, Doan etinkaya analyses the history of the Boycott Movement, a series of nationwide public meetings and protests which enshrined the Turkish democratic voice.

Turkey, ofcially a secular state, voted in an Islamist party in 2002 and 2007. How far does this reect the trend which has seen the rise of political Islam across the Middle East? Does this indicate a growing tendency in the direction of Islamisation amongst the Turkish population? If not, what are the underlying reasons behind the electoral triumphs of the Islamist Justice and Development Party (the AKP)? Kayhan Delibas seeks to answer these questions through an in-depth examination of the appeal of this political party, exploring its ideology, the routes and motives which produce party activists and local party organisations. Concluding that the AKPs success has been built on its criticism of growing inequalities, widespread corruption, unemployment, poverty and lack of basic services, Delibas draws a nuanced portrait of modern Turkish society and the relationship between religion and politics.

In the rst decade of the twenty-rst century, Turkey experienced an extraordinary set of transformations. In 2001, in the midst of nancial difculties, the country was under IMF stewardship, yet it has recently emerged as one of the fastest growing economies in the world. And on the international stage, Turkey has managed to enhance its position from being a backseat NATO member and outside candidate for EU membership to being an inuential regional power, determining and developing its own individual foreign policy. Shane Brennan and Marc Herzog explore how these and other changes have shaped the way people in Turkey perceive themselves and how the countrys self-image shapes its actions. Through different approaches engaging with politics, economy, society, culture and history, they offer new perspectives on the transformation of national identity in this increasingly inuential country in the Middle East.

Hasan Turunc

West or East? Modern or Traditional? Global or Local? Secular or Islamic? Turkish or Other? These seemingly polar opposites have all-too-often been lazily used when examining the nature of the modern Turkish state and its society. Here, Hasan Turunc seeks to look at the nuance which lies in between these opposites, analysing the explosion of civil society institutions under the aegis and protection of the EU Copenhagen Political Criteria (which holds out eventual EU accession as the ultimate incentive in the negotiations). He thereby explores how the role of the army in Turkish society has been altered with the commencement of the EU accession process, as the balance is shifted more towards civilian institutions and away from the military. A fresh look at the current issues within Turkey, this book offers a vital and nuanced analysis for those researching modern Turkey and its political issues.

Is Turkish nationalism simply a product of Kemalist propaganda from the early Turkish Republic or an inevitable consequence of a rm and developing Turkish identity? Turkish citizenship is a vital aspect of todays Republic, and yet it has long been dened only through legal framework, neglecting its civil, political, and social implications. Here, Basak Ince seeks to rectify this, examining the identity facets of citizenship, and how this relates to nationalism, democracy and political participation in the modern Turkish republic. By tracing the development of the citizenship from the initial founding of the Republic to the immediate post-World War II period, and from the military interventions of the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s to the present day she offers in-depth analysis of the interaction of state and society in modern Turkey, which holds wider implications for the study of the Middle East.

The Menderes Era and its Demise

Saniye Dedeoglu

Mogens Pelt
University of Copenhagen
Adnan Menderes election to power in 1950 signalled a new epoch in the history of modern Turkey. For the rst time a democratic government ruled the country, challenging the political monopoly of the Kemalist elites. However, this period was short-lived. In 1960, Turkeys army staged a coup dtat and Menderes was hanged the following year. Here, Mogens Pelt examines the era of the rule of the Democratic Party and the legacy of the military intervention that brought it to an end. Although the armed forces ofcially returned power to the civilians in 1961, this intervention allowed the military to become a major player in Turkeys political process, weakening the role of elected politicians. This unique exploration of the Menderes period sheds new light on the shaping of post-war Turkey and will be vital for those researching the Turkish Republic, and the inuence of the military in its destiny.

Globalisation is often considered as not only generating jobs, but also having a negative effect on those at the bottom of the labour supply chain. Here Saniye Dedeoglu shows us exactly how globalisation has affected women engaged in insecure, invisible and low/unpaid garment work. Through a close ethnographic study of women workers in Istanbuls garment industry, she reveals how industries have adapted their labour demands to make use of local female labour supplies, and highlights the strategies and responses that have evolved in response to contemporary changes in global industrial production in Turkey. The book throws up the critical question of what it means to be a woman in todays globalised society, and is an important contribution to the various perspectives on the social and economic consequences of globalization to the least priviliged in industrial socieities.

SOUTH FROM EPHESUS


Travels through Aegean Turkey

NEW

Brian Sewell
Weary of what he called the tyranny of western art, Brian Sewell rst visited Turkey in 1975. He thought that there, anything he found would have no relevance to European and that he could therefore enjoy the art for its own sake. But Turkey surprised him and he delighted in the unexpected wealth of Greek, Roman, Byzantine and Islamic cultures there, returning three of four times a year until 1990. The main bulk of this book focuses on his journey from Ephesus to Side one winter. With typically acerbic commentary, Sewell describes (not always favourably) the archaeological and historical sites he comes across, the landscapes that so clearly thrilled him, and the encounters he has along the way. South from Ephesus is an incomparable portrait of Turkey and its artistic heritage a book that could only have been written by Sewell and which has become a quirky classic of travel literature.

SHERBET AND SPICE


The Complete Story of Turkish Sweets and Desserts

Mary Isin
The stories behind Turkeys huge variety of sweets and puddings are as fascinating as their multiplicity of avours. This riveting exploration of their history and role in Turkish culture is a voyage of adventure, taking us from the sultans palace to the homes of ordinary people in Turkeys villages and towns, and beyond to Central Asia, Persia, Arabia, Egypt and the Levant. This is the land of Turkish delight perfumed with rosewater and musk, rose jam, baklava lled with nuts, clotted cream or cheese, milk puddings and helvas, strings of nuts dipped in grape syrup, and model gardens built of sugar carried in wedding processions. The rst study of Turkish confectionery ever to be published, Sherbet and Spice offers a rare look at the evolution of sweets from the non-European angle, based on many Turkish sources little known outside Turkey that lend a new dimension to the subject.

A fascinating and informative exploration of the role of sweetness in Turkish culture over the centuries.
