Ozlem Goner

Turkish National Identity and Its Outsiders (eBook, ePUB)

Memories of State Violence in Dersim

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book examines the ways in which states and nations are constructed and legitimated through defining and managing outsiders. Focusing on Turkey and the municipality of Dersim - a region that has historically combined different outsider identities, including Armenian, Kurdish, and Alevi identities - the author explores the remembering, transformation and mobilisation of everyday relations of power and how relationships with the state shape both outsider identities and the conception of the nation itself. Drawing on archival methods, field research, and interviews groups, this book offers a historical understanding of relationships of power and struggle as they are actualised and challenged.
