Why do some ethno-national groups live peacefully with the states
that govern them, whereas others develop into serious threats to
state authority? Through a comparative historical analysis, this
book compares the evolution of Kurdish mobilization in Turkey with
the Berber mobilization in Morocco by looking at the different
nation-building strategies of the respective states. Using a
variety of sources, including archival documents, interviews, and
memoirs, Senem Aslan emphasizes the varying levels of willingness
and the varying capabilities of the Turkish and Moroccan states to
intrude into their citizens' lives. She argues that complex
interactions at the ground level - where states have demanded
changes in everyday behavior, such as how to dress, what language
to speak, what names to give children, and more mundane practices -
account for the nature of emerging state-minority relations. By
taking the local and informal interactions between state officials
and citizens seriously, this study calls attention to the actual
implementation of state policies and the often unintended
consequences of these policies.
