This book discusses the ways in which ethno-cultural and religious
diversity has hitherto been handled by the modern Turkish state
within the framework of the discourse of tolerance in line with the
contemporary Europeanization process. Among many other topics, this
book will delineate the construction of the Turkish national
identity and the modern Turkish state in a way that underlines the
constitutive elements of the state machinery as well as the
technologies of citizenship in Turkey since the decay of the
Ottoman Empire in the early 19th century. Depicting the major
challenges to the traditional Kemalist nation-state project such as
the Alevi Question, the Kurdish Question, the Headscarf Question
and the processes of Europeanization, the book will also include an
historical account of the notion of tolerance in the Turkish
context dating back to the heydays of the Ottoman Empire. Based on
qualitative survey findings, this work is an attempt to unravel the
myth of tolerance in Turkey.
