The first decade of the twentieth century was the Ottoman Empire's
'imperial twilight'. As the Empire fell away however, the
beginnings of a young, vibrant and radical Turkish nationalism took
root in Anatolia. The summer of 1908 saw a group known as the Young
Turks attempt to revitalise Turkey with a constitutional revolution
aimed at reducing the power of the Ottoman Sultan, Abdulhammid II-
who was seen to preside over the Ottoman Empire's decline. Drawing
on popular support for the efence of the Ottoman Empire's Balkan
territories in particular, the Young Turks promised to build a
nation from the people up, rather than from the top down. Here, Y.
Dogan Cetinkaya analyses the history of the Boycott Movement, a
series of nationwide public meetings and protests which enshrined
the Turkish democractic voice. He argues that the 1908 revolution
the Young Turks engendered was in fact a crucial link in the wave
of constitutional revolutions at the beginning of the twentieth
century- in Russia (1905), Iran (1906), Mexico (1910) and China
(1911) and as such should be studied in the context of the wider
rise of democratic nationalism across the world. The Young Turks
and the Boycott Movement is the first history to show how this
phenomenon laid the foundations for the modern Turkish state and
will be essential reading for students and scholars of the Ottoman
Empire and of the history of Modern Turkey.
