Faces of the State: Secularism and Public Life in Turkey
"A provocative and sophisticated analysis of value to regional specialists and scholars interested in the nature of the state."--Choice"Navaro-Yashin's highly innovative use of an ethnographic approach to establish evidence to support her two major arguments--concerning the shared political culture of secularists and Islamists and the regeneration of the state through the margins--is extremely successful. A welcome addition to the ethnography of Turkey, this study will be also of use to readers interested in debates on civil society, the public sphere, nationalism, and subjectivity."--Leyla Neyzi,Journal of Royal Anthropological Institute
