More about the book

Challenging the narrative of a 'clash of civilisations,' Halil Karaveli presents a class analysis of Turkey's socio-political landscape, arguing that viewing the country solely through the lens of cultural conflict oversimplifies its complexities. He explores how cultural prejudices have shaped ideological stances and hindered the Left's progress. The book probes the reasons behind Turkey's ongoing struggle for democracy, suggesting that understanding its history is vital for the Left in confronting the global rise of populism.
