Debating Turkish Modernity: Civilization, Nationalism, and the EEC baixar o livro de graça

Debating Turkish Modernity describes the opening act of Turkey s half century bid to join the European Community. Between 1959 and 1980, Turks from all walks of life weighed in on their prospective integration into Europe. This book details how these Turks made sense of the project of European Unification and how they spoke about it. It argues that Turkey s EEC debates, by resurrecting past questions over Turkey s relationship to Europe, became the principle forum where Turks of the Second Republic defined who they were, where they came from, and where they were going."
