At a time when Turkey is struggling for its secular identity,
resisting the influence of ISIS, and finding itself at the heart of
the European refugee crisis, accomplished Turkish playwright Ozen
Yula offers a deep, artistic portrait of the country and its
culture. Yula, whose work focuses on marginalized individuals
within oppressive social systems, has a lot to say about the
problems facing global democracies issues like failures in the
social contract, human rights conflicts, territorial security,
religious strife, and nationalism.Unofficial Roxelana is a
collection of Yula's most significant work. It illustrates how
problematic power structures emerge regardless of different
governmental configurations, always resulting in the repression of
marginalized members of society in this case, from renowned Turkish
historical figures, like Roxelana and Rumi, to the pariahs of
modern Turkey. With a contextualizing introduction by Marvin
Carlson and a lengthy interview with Yula, this first-of-its-kind
anthology is an invaluable glimpse into the tempestuous and deeply
artistic modern Turkey.
