When a Turkish minister of culture declares that "the Turkish
military is synonymous with Turkish national identity," the
embedded assumptions cry out for investigation. Altinay examines
how the myth that the military is central to Turkey's national
identity was created, perpetuated, and acts to shape politics. This
historical and anthropological investigation probes the genesis of
the myth that the Turkish nation is a military nation, traces how
the ideology of militarism has been actualized through education
and conscription, and reveals the implications for ethnic and
gender relations. Altinay sheds light both on the process of how
national identities are constructed and on the deep roots of the
challenges facing Turkey as it potentially moves from being a
plural to a pluralistic society.
