Esra Özyürek

Nostalgia for the Modern

State Secularism and Everyday Politics in Turkey

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

"Esra ozyurek equips us to see modernity as both an ongoing invention and an object of nostalgia. Her analysis, exceptional for its ethnographic richness and ideological nuance, shows how power struggles between secular and Islamist political movements are reconfiguring popular notions of citizenship and the sacred in Turkey. Few scholars have devised such a compelling framework for assessing the mutual transformations of nationalism, Islam, and the state. This is exciting, innovative work."--Andrew Shryock, author of "Nationalism and the Genealogical Imagination"
