Trade Review
"A wonderfully wide-ranging collection of essays, critical and yet hopeful, presenting a compelling cultural map of the 'New Turkey' and in so doing making a significant contribution to the globalisation of Turkish cultural studies." -Dr. John Storey, Emeritus Professor of Cultural Studies, University of Sunderland
