Conspiracy theories are no longer just a curiosity for afficionados
but a politically salient theme in the age of Trump, Brexit and
"fake news". One of the countries that has been entrapped in
conspiratorial visions is Turkey, and this book is the first
comprehensive survey in English of the Turkish conspiratorial
mind-set. It provides a nuanced overview of the discourses of
Turkish conspiracy theorists and examines how these theorists argue
for and legitimize their worldview. The author discusses a broad
range of conspiracy theories, including some influenced by Kemalist
and Islamist perspectives as well as those of the ruling Justice
and Development Party. The most influential authors, books,
references and images within the conspiracist milieu are all
examined in detail. This book will be an important source for
scholars interested in extremism in Turkey and the societal and
political impact of conspiracy theories.
