Creating the Desired Citizen - Ideology, State and Islam in Turkey (Hardcover)

For decades after the declaration of the Republic of Turkey in
1923, the Turkish state promoted the idea of a desired citizen. The
Kemalist state treated these citizens as superior, with full
rights; but the 'others', those outside this desired citizenship,
were either tolerated or considered undesirable citizens. And this
caused the marginalization of ethnic and religious minorities,
religious Muslims and leftists alike. In this book, Ihsan Yilmaz
shows how historical traumas, victimhood, insecurities, anxieties,
fears and siege mentality have negatively impacted on and
radicalised the nation-building projects of the two competing
hegemonic ideologies/regimes (those of Ataturk and Erdogan) and
their treatment of majority and minority ethnic, religious and
political groups. Yilmaz reveals the significant degree of overlap
between the desired, undesired citizen and tolerated citizen
categories of these two regimes, showing how both regimes aimed to
create a perception of a homogenous Turkish nation.
