Turkey A Past Against History Taschenbuch von Christine M. Philliou Blitzverkauf

From its earliest days, the dominant history of the Turkish Republic has been one of national self-determination and secular democratic modernization. The story insisted on total rupture between the Ottoman Empire and the modern Turkish state and on the absolute unity of the Turkish nation. In recent years, this hermetic division has begun to erode, but as the old consensus collapses, new histories and accounts of political authority have been slow to take its place. Über den Autor Christine M. Philliou is Associate Professor in the Department of History at the University of California, Berkeley and author of Biography of an Empire: Governing Ottomans in an Age of Revolution.
