But the Age of Banditry is Over!
Ahmet Özcan both expands the discussion and presents a solid analysis equipped with cases, stories and images in the context of Turkey and the Kurds. How did the transition from "bandits" to "criminal citizens", from "innocent villagers" to "mountain monsters" occur during the development of the modern nation-state? Why did "Eastern" banditry, which were considered "individual cases", become the subject of a systematic "bandit hunt" accompanied by mass criminalization? How did we finally move from “Bandit” to “Terrorist”?
Bandit is an effective, striking term that had its last and bright rise in Turkey in the 1950-1970 period, which this book focuses on, and was always on the agenda before. It is coded as a subtopic or cover of the Kurdish Issue. A term that criminalizes on one side and mythologizes on the other. It is a widely discussed issue in universal social theory, within the framework of the social bandit-anti-social bandit duality.

Besides politics and media discourse, Özcan also looks at cinema and literature. It examines the strong representations of two opposing approaches to banditry in the novel: Yaşar Kemal and Kemal Tahir.
In addition, the social portraits of the three popular bandits of the period, Koçero, Hekimo and Hamido, shed light on the social context of the bandit phenomenon and their relations with the government.
