| Summary |
Explores how Turkey's modern history has been shaped by its society and its institutions. Begins in the nineteenth century and traces the historical background through the reforms of the late Ottoman Empire, the period of the Young Turks, the War of Independence and the founding of the Ataturk's Republic. Then focuses on the Republican period to consider a range of themes including political ideology, economic development, the military, migration, Kurdish nationalism, the rise of Islamism, and women's struggle for empowerment. Concludes with chapters on art and architecture, literature, and a brief history of Istanbul |
