Religion, Society, and Modernity in Turkey Hardback
by Serif Mardin
Part of the Modern Intellectual and Political History of the Middle East series
Hardback
Description
This is a selection of the finest essays by Serif Mardin, offering a historical and cultural analysis of the late Ottoman period and Republican Turkey.
This book collects Serif Mardin's seminal essays written throughout the span of his prolific career.
Comprising some of the author's finest and most incisive writings, these essays deal with the historical background, political travails, and socioeconomic metamorphosis of Turkey during a century of modernization.
With his characteristic sophistication and breadth of vision, Mardin provides readers with a remarkably objective analysis of ideology, civil society, religion, urban life, and violence in late Ottoman and Republican Turkey.
Mardin moves easily from sociological topics on violence and class-consciousness to the history of the Ottoman Empire, and the philosophy and culture of modern Turkey within the greater Middle East.
These influential pieces - collected for the first time in one volume - represent an invaluable addition to the field of Middle East studies.
