Couverture de The Turkish Labyrinth: Ataturk And the New Islam par James Pettifer

Résumé

James Pettifer explores a multi-faceted country where under the apparently familiar stereotypes of Turkish life, an ancient culture and people are in evolution. The new national identity being shaped draws on both the Ottoman past and contemporary Islamic and social radicalism. The wavering fortunes of the Turkish economy and urban environmental crises are analysed, along with the long war with Kurdish guerrillas.
