An investigation of the processes of globalization in the context
of Istanbul - one of the oldest and grandest of world cities.
Istanbul is usually identified as a battleground between East and
West, between Islam and secularism. Yet the authors argue that
beyond these cliches lies a complex reality shaped by an ongoing
struggle over the soul of the city and the identity of its
inhabitants. Istanbulites try to accommodate, understand, challenge
and shape the sweeping transformations that globalization has
brought to their city. Explaining the course of the conflicts and
the compromises involved in maintaining a precarious urbanity, this
volume focuses on the fields of struggle ranging from politics to
heritage, humour to music, public space to housing.
