Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learning to Become Turkmen examines the ways in which the iconography of everyday life—in dramatically different alphabets, multiple languages, and shifting education policies—reflects the evolution of Turkmen society in Central Asia over the past century. As Victoria Clement shows, the formal structures of the Russian imperial state did not affect Turkmen cultural formations nearly as much as Russian language and Cyrillic script. Their departure was also as transformative to Turkmen politics and society as their arrival. Complemented by extensive fieldwork, Learning to Become Turkmen is the first book in a Western language to draw on Turkmen archives, as it explores how Eurasia has been shaped historically. Revealing particular ways that Central Asians relate to the rest of the world, this study traces how Turkmen consciously used language and pedagogy to position themselves within global communities such as the Russian/Soviet Empire, the Turkic cultural continuum, and the greater Muslim world.

Download or read book Under the Banner of Islam written by Gülay Türkmen and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021-01-22 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sunni Islam has played an ambivalent role in Turkey's Kurdish conflict--both as a conflict resolution tool and as a tool of resistance. Under the Banner of Islam uses Turkey as a case study to understand how religious, ethnic, and national identities converge in ethnic conflicts between co-religionists. Gülay Türkmen asks a question that informs the way we understand religiously homogeneous ethnic conflicts today: Is it possible for religion to act as a resolution tool in these often-violent conflicts? In search for answers to this question, in Under the Banner of Islam, Türkmen journeys into the inner circles of religious elites from different backgrounds: non-state-appointed local Kurdish meles, state-appointed Kurdish and Turkish imams, heads of religious NGOs, and members of religious orders. Blending interview data with a detailed historical analysis that goes back as far as the nineteenth century, she argues that the strength of Turkish and Kurdish nationalisms, the symbiotic relationship between Turkey's religious and political fields, the religious elites' varying conceptualizations of religious and ethnic identities, and the recent political developments in the region (particularly in Syria) all contribute to the complex role religion plays in the Kurdish conflict in Turkey. Under the Banner of Islam is a specific story of religion, ethnicity, and nationalism in Turkey's Kurdish conflict, but it also tracks a broader narrative of how ethnic and religious identities are negotiated when resolving conflicts.

Download or read book Tribal Nation written by Adrienne Lynn Edgar and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2006-09-05 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On October 27, 1991, the Turkmen Soviet Socialist Republic declared its independence from the Soviet Union. Hammer and sickle gave way to a flag, a national anthem, and new holidays. Seven decades earlier, Turkmenistan had been a stateless conglomeration of tribes. What brought about this remarkable transformation? Tribal Nation addresses this question by examining the Soviet effort in the 1920s and 1930s to create a modern, socialist nation in the Central Asian Republic of Turkmenistan. Adrienne Edgar argues that the recent focus on the Soviet state as a "maker of nations" overlooks another vital factor in Turkmen nationhood: the complex interaction between Soviet policies and indigenous notions of identity. In particular, the genealogical ideas that defined premodern Turkmen identity were reshaped by Soviet territorial and linguistic ideas of nationhood. The Soviet desire to construct socialist modernity in Turkmenistan conflicted with Moscow's policy of promoting nationhood, since many Turkmen viewed their "backward customs" as central to Turkmen identity. Tribal Nation is the first book in any Western language on Soviet Turkmenistan, the first to use both archival and indigenous-language sources to analyze Soviet nation-making in Central Asia, and among the few works to examine the Soviet multinational state from a non-Russian perspective. By investigating Soviet nation-making in one of the most poorly understood regions of the Soviet Union, it also sheds light on broader questions about nationalism and colonialism in the twentieth century.

Download or read book Turkmen City that has changed the Fate of Iraq Amirli written by Adil Zineelabdin and published by Ortadoğu Yayınları. This book was released on 2023-08-01 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Amirli (Emirli) is a Turkmen district of the Province of Salahaddin in Iraq. It is one of the Turkmen regions well known in Iraq due to its history, geographic location, and important events that took place therein. Amirli lies at the South end of what could be considered the Turkmen Plain, composed of Altınköprü, Kirkuk, Tazehurmatu, Dakuk, and Tuzhurmatu. Given its geographical position, Amirli occupies a strategic position as it connects the Turkmen region, at its southern end, to the Arab region. Throughout history, Amirli has always been one of the places where Turks had chosen to settle inside Iraq. For years, Turkmens in Amirli had earned their living as shepherds and through agricultural activities. Nevertheless, since the beginning of the 1990s and especially after 2003, its inhabitants have started to prefer working as servants in public institutions. The Turkish dialect spoken in Amirli (Turkmen language), is very similar to that spoken in Bayat villages. The Turkmen language spoken in Bestamlı and some Bayat villages is the dialect most similar to that of Amirli. The language spoken in Amirli differs to a certain extent from the dialects of Kirkuk, Tal Afar, and Tuzhurmatu. The people of Amirli are known for their adherence to cultural values. Amirli, which is located far away from big cities, has closer tribal/family ties compared to other Turkmen regions except for Tal Afar. People of Amirli have been excluded from the local and central governments by the rulers who governed Iraq for a long time. Amirli, which had been a subdistrict under Tuzhurmatu District until 29 January, 1976, was separated from Kirkuk province and was placed under Salahaddin province in line with the policies targeting demographic change carried out by the Baath regime. In this way, the purpose was to distance Amirli and other Turkmen regions from Turkmens living in Kirkuk province. Besides, during the Baath regime, many Turkmens of Amirli were accused of being members of the Islamic Dawa Party, and some were forced to leave the country. Since 2003, Turkmens of Amirli have tried to be active in the provinces of Baghdad and Salahaddin. Today, the population of the district center of Amirli, which is totally composed of Turkmens, is estimated to be around 23 thousand. The total population of the district, including the villages, is estimated to be more than 45 thousand. Amirli has often been on the agenda in Iraq due to terrorist attacks. Having been based in the Hamrin Mountains to the south, west, and east of the district, terrorist organizations such as al-Qaeda and ISIS have carried out hundreds of attacks against the people of the district. For this reason, Amirli shared a similar fate with Tuzhurmatu.

Book excerpt: Bu çalışma, Anadolu’da yüzyıllardır yapılan ve kullanılan bir örgü geleneğimiz olan oya ile ilgilidir. Bu çalışmada, Kadirli yöresinde örülen ve kullanılan oyalar ele alınmıştır. Bunun için yazar, çeşitli tarihlerde İstanbul’dan Kadirli’ye gelerek çeyizinde oya ve oyalı yağlık olduğunu bildiği en yakın akrabalarından başlayarak, komşular, uzak komşular ve araştırma için gittiği birçok köyde oya sahibi hanımları bulmuş, oyalarını görmüş ve yüzlerce fotoğraf çekerek bu eseri oluşturmuştur. Yazara göre, her gün insanların önünden çok sayıda fırsat akıp gitmektedir. Hatta bu fırsatlardan bir bölümü maddi kazanımlar sağlayacak fırsatlardır ama, bu kaçan fırsatların içinde onu en çok üzenler bir daha gelmemek üzere kaybolup gidenlerin yazılı ortama aktarılamaması olmuştur. Onlar; kültürümüzün kaybolanlarıdır; dedelerimizin, ninelerimizin anlattıkları yazıya geçmemiş olan ağıtlar, türküler, hikayeler, masallar, atasözleri, bilmeceler, oya adları, nakış adları, köy yaşamı ile, yaban hayatı ile, orman, börtü böcekle ilgili olanlardır. Onlar; köylerde, dağlarda, derelerde bıraktıklarımızdır. Birçoğu yaşlılarımızla ve terk etmek zorunda kaldığımız köy hayatı ile beraber kaybolanlardır. Ölülerimiz nasıl yok olup gitmişlerse, ne yazık ki onlar da şimdilik kaybolup gidenler arasındadır.

This book was released on 2017-03-22 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When I first began examining laces and knittings of my hometown, I did not think I would find enough material to fill two volumes. As I began visiting villages, I encountered more material than I expected and I decided to prepare the second voulme about laces. Actually, I had already gathered enough material for my book in the first years of my travels to Kadirli. I was planning to work on weavings in my last visits. However, I found such laces in villages I visited that I could not stay indifferent. Most of the laces I saw had both very interesting names and shapes. This is how this second volume emerged. I also saw once more that same materials were still in use in almost every region of Kadirli and the skill and art was kept alive by being taught to young people by elder women. Sadly, I also encountered many laces whose names were already forgotten. This came to me as a sign of the end of an era.
