Temelkuran Ece
Turkey: The Insane and the Melancholy
8vo, br. ed. 296pp. Starting with the basic question "what is this place?", award-winning journalist and novelist Ece Temelkuran guides us through her "beloved country". In challenging the authoritarian AKP government - for which she lost her job as a journalist - Temelkuran draws strength and wisdom from people, places and artistic expression. The result is a beautifully rendered account of the struggles, hopes and tragedies which make Turkey what it is today. Lamenting the commercialisation and authoritarianism which increasingly characterises Turkish society, Temelkuran sees hope in the Gezi Park protests of 2013, the electoral breakthrough of the progressive HDP party in 2015 and in the simple kindness of ordinary people. Much more than either straightforward history or memoir, Turkey: the Insane the Melancholy is like sitting with a friendly stranger who, over raki or coffee, reveals the secrets of this rich and complex country - the historic "bridge" between east and west.

Choreographies of Shared Sacred Sites: Religion, Politics, and Conflict Resolution
8vo, hardcover, pp.428. This anthology explores the dynamics of shared religious sites in Turkey, the Balkans, Palestine/Israel, Cyprus, and Algeria, indicating where local and national stakeholders maneuver between competition and cooperation, coexistence and conflict. Contributors probe the notion of coexistence and the logic that underlies centuries of "sharing," exploring when and why sharing gets interrupted-or not-by conflict, and the policy consequences. These essays map the choreographies of shared sacred spaces within the framework of state-society relations, juxtaposing a site's political and religious features and exploring whether sharing or contestation is primarily religious or politically motivated. Although religion and politics are intertwined phenomena, the contributors to this volume understand the category of "religion" and the "political" as devices meant to distinguish between the theological and confessional aspects of religion and the political goals of groups. Their comparative approach better represents the transition in some cases of sites into places of hatred and violence, while in other instances they remain noncontroversial. The essays clearly delineate the religious and political factors that contribute to the context and causality of conflict at these sites and draw on history and anthropology to shed light on the often rapid switch from relative tolerance to distress to peace and calm.

Hughes, Bettany
Istanbul a Tale of Three Cities
8vo, hardcover in dj. 832pp. a city which stands as a gateway between the east and west, one of the indisputably greatest cities in the world. Previously known by the names Byzantium and Constantinople, this is the most celebrated metropolis in the world to sit on two continents, straddling the dividing line of the Bosphorus Strait between Europe and Asia. During its long history, Istanbul has served as the capital of the Roman, Byzantine, Latin and Ottoman Empires. Its architecture reflects these many cultures, including the Hagia Sophia (Byzantine), the Blue Mosque (Ottoman), the Valens Aqueduct (Roman), the Topkapi Palace (Ottoman), and more modern Art Nouveau avenues built in the 19th and 20th centuries - many of which are UNESCO World Heritage sites. With the founding of the Republic of Turkey by Ataturk in 1923, Istanbul was overlooked and Ankara became the capital. Over the next 90 years, Istanbul has undergone great structural change, and in the 1970s the population of the city rocketed as people moved to the city to find work, turning Istanbul into the cultural, economic and financial centre of Turkey. Events there recently have again brought Istanbul to the forefront of global attention. Indeed, while writing this book, Bettany was caught with her daughters in the crossfire of Taksim Square. Bettany Hughes has been researching and writing this rich portrait of one of the world s most multi-faceted cities for over a decade.

Waldman, Simon (EDT)/ Caliskan, Emre (EDT
The New Turkey and Its Discontents
8vo. 225 x 145 mm. Language: English . Brand New Book. Today s Turkey little resembles that of recent decades. Newfound economic prosperity has had many unexpected social and political repercussions, most notably the rise of the AKP party and President Erdogan. Despite unprecedented electoral popularity, the conduct of the AKP has faced growing criticism: Turkey has yet to solve its Kurdish question; its foreign policy is increasingly fraught as it balances relations with Iran, Israel, Russia and the EU; and widespread protests gripped the country in 2013, as did an unsuccessful coup in 2016. The government is now perceived by many to be corrupt, unaccountable, intimidating of the press and intolerant of political alternatives. Has this once promising democracy descended into a tyranny of the majority led by a charismatic leader? Is Turkey more polarised now than at any point in its recent history? These are among the questions at the heart of The New Turkey and Its Discontents, which traces Turkey s evolution under Erdogan s leadership, and assesses the likely consequences at home and abroad

Masters Bruce
Christians and Jews in the Ottoman Arab World: The Roots of Sectarianism
8vo, br. ed. explores the history of Christians and Jews in the Arab provinces of the Ottoman empire and how their identities as non-Muslims evolved over four hundred years. At the start of this period, in the sixteenth century, social community was circumscribed by religious identity and non-Muslims lived within the hierarchy established by Muslim law. In the nineteenth century, however, in response to Western influences, a radical change took place. Conflict erupted between Muslims and Christians in different parts of the empire in a challenge to that hierarchy. This marked the beginning, as the author illustrates, of the tensions which have to a large extent inspired the nationalist and religious rhetoric in the empire s successor states throughout the twentieth century. In this way, Masters negotiates the present through the past

Soulahian Kuyumjian, Rit
Archeology of Madness: Komitas, Portrait of an Armenian Icon
The most popular Armenian classical composer of his time, Komitas (1869 1935) is still on every concert program of classical Armenian music. Komitas s creative work was cut short by the Armenian Genocide of 1915 16. After surviving a death camp, Komitas developed a severe form of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, and spent twenty years in virtual silence in mental asylums. In this thoughtful biography, Rita Kuyumjian examines three seldom-addressed aspects of the composer s life: his relationship with an Armenian singer, Margaret Babayan; his mental illness; and his relationship with the Armenian church. In this gently flowing narrative, based on extensive archival research, the fragile sanity of Komitas's mutilated soul comes to life, engulfing the reader in the tempest that once roared in the great Armenian composer s afflicted mind. Beside the elucidation of the complex Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, the author s meticulous exploration of Komitas s private ! life, love, fears, and demons paints a picture of a delicate creativity trapped in a painful solitude. "A pioneering achievement." --Vahé Oshagan "A unique and fascinating book, both in terms of Komitas s biography . . . and also the emergence of a clear, new, diagnostic category of PTSD psychosis." --Dr D. Turkington, Senior Lecturer and Consultant Psychiatrist "Original. . . . It brings to relief the psychiatric dimension of the toll of the Armenian Genocide." --Vahakn N. Dadrian "A thoughtful and enlightening book. . . . A fascinating history of a psychiatric illness." -- Joel Paris, M.D., F R C P. (C), Chair, Department of Psychiatry, McGill University "Komitas s relationship with Margaret is both fascinating and movingly told." --Jirair Libaridian, Ph.D. About the Author Rita Kuyumjian M.D. F.R.C.P.(C) is Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at McGill University in Montreal. She is the director of the Outpatient Psychiatry Department at St. Mary s Hospital.

Mills Amy
Streets of Memory: Landscape, Tolerance, and National Identity in Istanbul
8vo, br. ed. pp.248. In 1900, foreigners, mostly of Greek, Jewish, or Armenian extraction, comprised 56 percent of the population of Constantinople. By the end of the century, Christians and Jews made up less than one percent of the population of Istanbul, largely as the result of sustained policies of Turkification that were enacted following the foundation of the Turkish Republic in 1923. As Mills remarks Those minorities were seen as both betrayers of the Turkish nation-state and an unacceptable reminder of the Ottoman imperial past.

GOFFMAN Daniel
The Ottoman Empire and early modern Europe
8vo, pp-300-Despite the fact that its capital city and over one third of its territory was within the continent of Europe, the Ottoman Empire has consistently been regarded as a place apart, inextricably divided from the West by differences of culture and religion. A perception of its militarism, its barbarism, its tyranny, the sexual appetites of its rulers and its pervasive exoticism has led historians to measure the Ottoman world against a western standard and find it lacking. In recent decades, a dynamic and convincing scholarship has emerged that seeks to comprehend and, in the process, to de-exoticize this enduring realm- undergraduates1. Introduction: Ottomancentrism and the West, 2. Fabricating the Ottoman State, 3. A seasoned polity, 4. Factionalism and insurrection, 5. The Ottoman-Venetian Association, 6. Commerce and diasporas, 7. A changing station in Europe, 8. Conclusion: the greater western world.'His typically rich and thought-provoking book will be vital reading for all those interested in enriching and bolstering constructive dialogue between Islam and the West.' Discourse'His text is suffused with an impassioned plea for recognition . a deft restatement of familiar topics that is both original and accessible . Goffman's new book convincingly shows that the history of the Ottoman Empire desperately needs re-telling . The Ottoman Empire and early modern Europe contributes to one of the most urgent historical tasks of our time .'. School of Oriental and African Studies BiographicalNote: Daniel Goffman is Professor of History at Ball State University. His publications include Izmir and the Levantine World, 1550-1650 (1990), Britons in the Ottoman Empire, 1642-1660 (1998) and The Ottoman City Between East and West: Istanbul, Izmir and Aleppo, with Edhem Eldem and Bruce Masters (1999).

DANKOFF ROBERT. WITH AN AFTERWORD BY GOTTFRIED HAGEN.
An Ottoman Mentality: The World of Evliya Celebi (Ottoman Empire and Its Heritage)
8vo xxii, 282 pp. ,- In his huge travel account, Evliya Çelebi provides materials for getting at Ottoman perceptions of the world, not only in areas like geography, topography, administration, urban institutions, and social and economic systems, but also in such domains as religion, folklore, sexual relations, dream interpretation, and conceptions of the self.In six chapters the author examines: Evliyas treatment of Istanbul and Cairo as the two capital cities of the Ottoman world; his geographical horizons and notions of tolerance; his attitudes toward government, justice and specific Ottoman institutions; his social status as gentleman, character type as dervish, office as caller-to-prayer and avocation as traveller; his use of various narrative styles; and his relation with his audience in the two registers of persuasion and amusement.An Afterword situates Evliya in relation to other intellectual trends in the Ottoman world of the seventeenth century. - The World of Evliya Çelebi (revised second edition)

Mini Fabio
Mediterraneo in guerra. Siria, Libia, Egitto, Tunisia. (ISBN:880621134X)
8vo br., pp. 200. (Einaudi. Passaggi). La guerra in Libia e i fatti della cosiddetta "primavera araba" hanno riportato il Mediterraneo al centro del teatro geopolitico globale. Lo hanno fatto dopo un lungo periodo in cui sembrava che il fronte "caldo" delle contese internazionali si fosse spostato a oriente: ma è veramente così? O ciò che sta accadendo è, al contrario, l'espandersi dell'instabilità afro-asiatica seguita alla fine della guerra fredda? L'unico modo per capire cosa sta succedendo sulle sponde del Mediterraneo è allargare lo sguardo, ricollocando il teatro nordafricano e mediorientale nel più vasto scacchiere internazionale, come fa Fabio Mini in Mediterraneo in guerra. Mini (che è stato Capo di Stato maggiore del Comando Nato delle forze alleate Sud Europa e al vertice della Kfor in Kosovo) attraverso una serie di veri e propri "briefing" ci aggiorna sugli scenari presenti ma soprattutto su quelli del futuro più prossimo. In che modo le rivolte in Egitto e Tunisia sono legate a una rinnovata politica di potenza da parte di alcune nazioni europee? La posta in palio è sempre il controllo dell'energia? In che modo rivoluzioni e guerre nel Nord Africa influenzano i flussi migratori? Cosa succederà in Siria, Iran e Arabia Saudita? Perché ciò che succede a Tripoli o al Cairo (o a Roma), spesso, si può capire solo guardando molto lontano.

It was a time when East and West encountered each other as cultural and political equals. In this wide-ranging exploration, Jerry Brotton argues that between 1400 and 1600 Europe defined itself by trading and competing with its Islamic, African, and Asian neighbours. 'The Renaissance Bazaar' tells the story of this intense exchange of ideas, objects, and skills that shaped the European Renaissance. It also shows how technological and commercial developments such as printing, banking, and mapmaking were inextricably connected

Durmush Fatma
Ayshe an Anatolian Tale
Themes: schizophrenia, ethnic minorities, IslamDescriptionThis book started life as a short story in a children's writing group. 'Anatolian Tale' is about the backwaters of Turkey, it is a story of Ayshe growing up in Anatolia and the hardships she endures. Girls in villages in Turkey are not encouraged to read, this is a luxury which their sisters in the cities have so Ayshe rebels. Ayshe rebels to such an extent that she conquers the societal paradigm of cheap and sometimes enforced labour. Ayshe is brave and resourceful, a great charmer. This book teaches the lesson that life is bigger than we are and that life is a gift for us to treasure.

Book Extract"In Anatolia, there lives Ayshe.She doesn't go to school.More than anything, she wants to.Weaving carpets has made her eyesight dim.Weave and stretch, make and go into patterns, Ayshe's clothes are hand-me-downs, patchy from too much sewing.Her donkey is her constant companion.She gives him sugar, from pockets with too many commitments.Mrs Sadiye is Ayshe's mother.There are ten girls, and one boy.Ayshe mothers her sisters, carrying them on her back.The big pan is where they boil the nappies, Mrs Sadiye is constantly boiling, cooking.Her five feet nothing is a source of pride.A woman shouldn't be taller than her man.Every inch on the look out for a child in trouble.In Muslim Festival of Sacrifice they eat meat.Which they have to be grateful for.Eggs they get on a Friday, From the chickens which go to the neighbours.Mrs Sadiye has a vegetable patch which ekes out the subsistence of the evening meal.When the chickens go next door, there's an almighty row."
