Description

This groundbreaking volume investigates the processes of globalization in one of the oldest and grandest of world cities.

Istanbul usually is identified as a battleground between East and West, Islam and secularism.

Yet the authors argue that beyond these clichZs lies a complex reality as Istanbulites simultaneously try to accommodate, understand, challenge, and shape the sweeping transformations that globalization has brought to their city.

Explaining the course of the conflicts and the compromises involved in maintaining a precarious urbanity, this theoretically informed volume focuses on fields of struggle ranging from politics to heritage, humor to music, public space to housing.
