The military conflict between the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK)
and the Turkish Armed Forces has endured over the course of the
past three decades. Since 1984, the conflict has claimed the lives
of more than 45,000 civilians, militants, and soldiers, as well as
causing thousands of casualties and disappearances. It has led to
the displacement of millions of people and caused the forced
evacuation of nearly 4,000 villages and towns. Suspended
periodically by various cease-fires, the conflict has been a
significant force in shaping many of the ethnic, social, and
political enclaves of contemporary Turkey, where contradictory
forms of governance have been installed across the Kurdish region.
In States of Dispossession, Zerrin OEzlem Biner traces the violence
of the protracted conflict in the Kurdish region through the lens
of dispossession. By definition, dispossession implies the act of
depriving someone of land, property, and other belongings as well
as the result of such deprivation. Within the fields of Ottoman and
contemporary Turkish studies, social scientists to date have
examined the dispossession of rights and property as a technique
for governing territory and those citizens living at its margins.
States of Dispossession instead highlights everyday experiences in
an attempt to understand the persistent and intangible effects of
dispossession. Biner examines the practices and discourses that
emerge from local memories of unspoken, irresolvable histories and
the ways people of differing religious and ethnic backgrounds live
with the remains of violence that is still unfolding. She explores
the implicit knowledge held by ordinary people about the landscape
and the built environment and the continuous struggle to reclaim
rights over dispossessed bodies and places.
