By examining the critical phase in the construction of a historical
imagination from 1860 to 1950, this book demonstrates how history
and historical imagery were instrumental in the Turkish
nation-building process. Developing a thematic approach, it conveys
the encounters with medieval Islam, medieval Europe, the Ottoman
Empire, the Crusades and the French Revolution and shows how these
historical themes were employed to serve national concerns.
Gurpinar shows how these historical visions were posited to
reinforce national visions in line with the modernist premises of
the late Ottoman/Turkish national imaginations and identities. The
study also demonstrates the continuities from the late Ottoman
historical imaginations to the Kemalist/republican historical
visions. It exposes the diverse agendas flourishing with the onset
of the introduction of modern discourses and ideologies. The
critical engagement with historiography reveals the transformations
and continuities of Turkish nationalism from the late Ottoman
Empire to the secular and radically modern republican Kemalist
nationalism. This book is a contribution not only to the study of
the development of modern Ottoman/Turkish historiography, but also
to the origins of Turkish nationalism.
