Book Synopsis
Turkish society is frequently accused of having amnesia. This volume provides an understanding of contemporary Turkey and how its different representations of the past have become metaphors through which individuals and groups define their cultural identity and political position.

Trade Review
As the contributors show, the past will not be suppressed. Even as individuals are now looking back into their multi-stranded history to find for themselves alternative identities to those prescribed by the supposedly homogeneous Turkish national state, past traumas remain a palpable force that sets the terms of debate and the limits of the permissible. The essays [here] cover a range of telling instances.
