The founder of modern Turkey, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, came to power
in 1923 with a radical and wide-ranging programme of reforms, known
collectively as Kemalism. This philosophy - which included adopting
a western alphabet and securing a secular state apparatus - has
since the early 1930s, when the Turkish state endeavored to impose
a monolithic definition of the term, been connected to the
development of the personality cult of Mustafa Kemal himself. This
book argues that in fact Kemalism can only be fully understood from
a transnational perspective: just as a uniquely national frame is
not the only appropriate scale of analysis for shedding light on
the process of the nationalization of societies and nationalism
itself, the Turkish national lens is not necessarily the most
adequate one for understanding the genesis and evolution of what
Kemalism stood for from the early 1920s onward. Featuring case
studies from across the former Ottoman Empire and using new primary
source research, each chapter examines the different ways in which
national borders refracted and transformed Kemalist ideology.
Across the Balkans and the Middle East Kemalism influenced the
development of language and the alphabet, the life of women, the
law, and everyday dress. A particular focus on the interwar period
in Turkey, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Albania, Yugoslavia, and Egypt reveals
how, as a practical tool, Kemalism must be relocated as a global
movement, whose influence is still felt today.
