Milliyetçilik: Türkiye'nin Çıkmazı

As modern history shows, nationalism has brought great disasters to humanity that can only be compared to the religious ideologies of the Middle Ages. All wars, as well as the reduction of social budgets, have always been justified by it. In this sense, nationalism is the ideology of solving our social problems by destroying our awareness and common sense and making us hostile towards different identities.

The book in your hands examines the story of our lives shaped by nationalism, sometimes going back to history and sometimes coming to the present. It shows that behind the dominant discourse that shouts that "sovereignty belongs unconditionally to the nation", it is actually an ideological tool to format and control the "nation". It clarifies that nationalism, contrary to protecting the rights of the nation and confusing it with patriotism, is an ideology of sovereignty that enables us to be alienated from our rights and freedoms.
