Herzog Christoph, Pusch Barbara (eds.) Groups, ideologies and discourses: glimpses of the Turkic speaking world

Würzburg: Ergon; Orient-Institut Istanbul, 2016. — 169 p. — (Istanbuler Texte und Studien 10). — ISBN 9783956501845.This volume presents an analysis of contemporary socio-political changes in Turkey and the broader Turkic speaking world, focusing primarily on the interplay of groups, ideologies, and discourses. It assembles insights from various contributors examining nationalist sentiments, the political engagement of Armenians in Turkey, and evolving Islamic movements, particularly the Fethullah Gülen community. The discussions indicate that current Turkish discourse often reflects a complex relationship with the West, intertwining nationalism with emerging religious ideologies, and highlights the marginalization of minority communities in public narratives.
