How can the examination of action groups, such as the one discussed
in this book, help to initiate a discussion of environmental
conflicts as societal conflicts? In this work, which is an
ethnographic study of a protest born in Istanbul during the late
1990s, the author suggests that the peculiarities of a
protest-group should be viewed as social, political and cultural
rather than issue-specific. The book offers a close ethnographic
examination of the protest, studying it as a product of the
particular character of Turkish public life. It illustrates the
particular character of the protest itself as a product of the
identities evolving, the activities taking place and the community
that these have created amidst the struggle. It is a contribution
to the anthropology of collective action and brings together recent
studies of the anthropology of social movements, environmentalism
and urban settings, with wider literature on social movements,
civil society and urban studies and anthropological and
sociological studies on Turkey.
