Book excerpt: There are more than 700,000 Bulgaristanlı migrants residing in Turkey. Immigrants from Bulgaria who are ethnically Turkish, they assume certain privileges because of these ethnic ties, yet access to citizenship remains dependent on the whims of those in power. Through vivid accounts of encounters with the police and state bureaucracy, of nostalgic memories of home and aspirations for a more secure life in Turkey, Precarious Hope explores the tensions between ethnic privilege and economic vulnerability and rethinks the limits of migrant belonging among those for whom it is intimated and promised--but never guaranteed. In contrast to the typical focus on despair, Ayşe Parla studies the hopefulness of migrants. Turkish immigration policies have worked in lockstep with national aspirations for ethnic, religious, and ideological conformity, offering Bulgaristanlı migrants an advantage over others. Their hope is the product of privilege and an act of dignity and perseverance. It is also a tool of the state, reproducing a migration regime that categorizes some as desirable and others as foreign and dispensable. Through the experiences of the Bulgaristanlı, Precarious Hope speaks to the global predicament in which increasing numbers of people are forced to manage both cultivation of hope and relentless anxiety within structures of inequality.

Download or read book Rethinking Modernity and National Identity in Turkey written by Sibel Bozdogan and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2011-11-15 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the first two decades after W.W.II, social scientist heralded Turkey as an exemplar of a 'modernizing' nation in the Western mold. Images of unveiled women working next to clean-shaven men, healthy children in school uniforms, and downtown Ankara's modern architecture all proclaimed the country's success. Although Turkey's modernization began in the late Ottoman era, the establishment of the secular nation-state by Kemal Ataturk in 1923 marked the crystallization of an explicit, elite-driven 'project of modernity' that took its inspiration exclusively from the West. The essays in this book are the first attempt to examine the Turkish experiment with modernity from a broad, interdisciplinary perspective, encompassing the fields of history, the social sciences, the humanities, architecture, and urban planning. As they examine both the Turkish project of modernity and its critics, the contributors offer a fresh, balanced understanding of dilemmas now facing not only Turkey but also many other parts of the Middle East and the world at large.

Download or read book Hope written by Marie I. Ball and published by Author House. This book was released on 2007-08-30 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The year is 1902 and the sultan’s army is terrorizing the country, soldiers riding into villages, swords brandished, rounding up young girls for the sultan’s harem. Mitch and his wife, Marig, fear for their two daughters, Nofina, 14, and Simy, 12. After several attempted kidnappings, the family flees. Constantly on the move, they find refuge in churches across Armenia, as do others scattered by the sultan’s army. The family makes their way to the mountains, which is soon invaded, forcing them to cross into Persia. When civil war breaks out, the family is forced to leave again. Hearing about America from a man named Abdiel, the family decides to try their luck. They reach the Mediterranean, where they are surprised to find Abdiel again. He helps them secure passage America. The year is now 1909. Having settled in New York, the family is terrified after reading a newspaper report from their homeland; 23,000 Armenians have been massacred by the Turks and Kurds. The family picks up again, moving inland to St. Louis and changing their names – Mitch to Michael, Marig to Mary, Nofina to Athena, and Simy to Liz – in yet another attempt to outrun the spectre of persecution. “No one must know who they were or where they lived”, Once more they left at night... Influenced by all those who have been forced to leave their beloved homelands for political or other reasons, who have suffered displacement and death, Hope is both a witnessing and a prayer for the less fortunate people who can do nothing but try to find a place to call home for a while.

Download or read book Crossing the Aegean written by Renée Hirschon and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2003-05-01 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the defeat of the Greek Army in 1922 by nationalist Turkish forces, the 1923 Lausanne Convention specified the first internationally ratified compulsory population exchange. It proved to be a watershed in the eastern Mediterranean, having far-reaching ramifications both for the new Turkish Republic, and for Greece which hadto absorb over a million refugees. Known as the Asia Minor Catastrophe by the Greeks, it marked the establishment of the independent nation state for the Turks. The consequences of this event have received surprisingly little attention despite the considerable relevance for the contemporary situation in the Balkans. This volume addresses the challenge of writing history from both sides of the Aegean and provides, for the first time, a forum for multidisciplinary dialogue across national boundaries.
Download or read book The Passenger Turkey written by The Passenger and published by Europa Editions. This book was released on 2021-01-12 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Turkish culture and history is explored in the wide-ranging series that is “like a literary vacation” (Publishers Weekly). The birth of the “New Turkey,” as the country’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has called his own creation, is an exemplary story of the rise of “illiberal democracies” through the erosion of civil liberties, press freedom, and the independence of the judicial system. Turkey was a complex country long before the rise of its new sultan: Born out of the ashes of a vast multi-ethnic and multi-religious empire, Turkey has grappled through its relatively short history with the definition of its own identity. Poised between competing ideologies, secularism and piousness, a militaristic nationalism and exceptional openness to foreigners, Turkey defies easy labels and categories. Through the voices of some of its best writers and journalists—many of them in self-imposed exile—The Passenger: Turkey tries to make sense of this fascinating, maddening country, analyzing how it got to where it is now, and finding the bright spots of hope that allow its always resourceful, often frustrated population to continue living, and thriving.
