Currents-Political Ideologies in Turkey (Hardcover Book)

Currents, characteristics of political ideologies in Turkey; the processes of influencing and being affected by each other; the ideological journeys of figures in currents; the language they construct about what they think of as the opponent; It masterfully reveals the techniques of popularizing ideologies and how political ideologies appear in daily life.

Tanil Bora discusses the "currents" under the following headings: Late Ottoman Mentality, Westernism, Kemalism, Nationalism, Turkism and Idealism, Conservatism, Islamism, Liberalism, Left, Feminism and Kurdish Political Movement. He looks not only at texts with clear beginnings and endings, but also at words and gestures, and focuses on "what is said" rather than "who said it." Thus, it also reveals the ideological content and "climate" surrounding political thoughts.

This is what takes Cureyans beyond being a book of political thoughts and makes it an exciting text that helps us understand Turkey's intellectual ethos: It is not content with describing and analyzing the events, but also deals with the thought formations behind them. We are proud to present to our readers this book, which has successfully tackled an extremely difficult task.
