From Life Itself: Turkey and Istanbul in the Age of Erdogan
Item specifics
Item description from the seller
In the midst of a world in upheaval, Erdogan has remade Turkey in his own image. Once a shining portal that straddled East and West, Istanbul’s streets now teem with nationalistic fervour, political repression and rampant corruption. And it’s here, in the old Ottoman neighbourhood of Karagumruk, that Suzy Hansen goes looking for the truth about modern Turkey.
Through the lives of its inhabitants, Hansen shows how local conflicts are spiralling into regional crises, deepening the fault lines now fracturing Europe and the Middle East. A dazzling account of a nation on the frontlines of history, From Life Itself chronicles the rise of an autocrat, the resurrection of an empire – and the human stories unfolding in its shadow.
