Notes
In this book, the author shows that the informal politics of the urban and rural poor played an important part in Turkey's modernisation. Far from being passive objects of an elite project as they are usually portrayed, peasants, tribal members, workers and other poor and marginalised groups appear here as active participants in a history that determined the shape of modern Turkey. So said an eminent reviewer of the book. For us, the book ties up some loose threads from coverage of the emergence of the modern state from the ancient empire which preceded it.
