A critical examination of the origins of today's anti-Islamic
rhetoric in Europe, this book focuses specifically on
representations of Turkey. Applying a novel theoretical framework
that understands collective identities as dramaturgical
achievements, it shows that stereotypes of Turks continue to
provide an important "Other" against which a supposed European
"Self" is contrasted. The book identifies two competing
meta-narratives that have long vied for the right to define
Christendom and later Europe, and argues that the struggle over
these narratives--one tragic, the other comic--have come to a head
in Turkey's current bid for EU membership.
