This is a book about what it meant to be German, Soviet, Russian,
and Turkish in the twentieth century, and how that definition
radically changed at the turn of the twenty-first century.
Germany's ethnic citizenship law, the Soviet Union's inscription of
ethnic origins in personal identification documents, and Turkey's
prohibition on the public use of minority languages, all put in
place in the early twentieth century, underpinned the definition of
nationhood in these countries. Despite many challenges from
political and societal actors, these policies did not change for
many decades, until around the turn of the twenty-first century,
when Russia removed ethnicity from the internal passport, Germany
changed its citizenship law, and Turkish public television began to
broadcast in minority languages. How did such tremendous changes
occur? Using a new typology of regimes of ethnicity and a close
study of primary documents and numerous interviews, Sener Akturk
argues that the coincidence of three key factors counterelites, new
discourses, and hegemonic majorities explains successful change in
state policies toward ethnicity.
