A powerful graphic novel that traces Turkey's descent into
political violence in the 1970s through the experiences of four
students on opposing sides of the conflict Turkish Kaleidoscope
tells the stories of four unforgettable protagonists as they
navigate a society torn apart by violent political factions. It is
1975 and Turkey is on the verge of civil war. Faruk and Orhan are
from conservative shopkeeping families in eastern Anatolia that
share a sense of new possibilities. Nuray is the daughter of
villagers who have migrated to the provincial city where Yunus, the
son of an imprisoned teacher, was raised in genteel poverty. While
attending medical school in Ankara, Faruk draws a reluctant Orhan
into a right-wing nationalist group while Nuray and Yunus join the
left. Against a backdrop of escalating violence, the four students
fall in love, have their hearts broken, get married, raise
families, and struggle to get on with their lives. But the
consequences of their decisions will follow them through their
lives as their children begin the story anew, skewed through the
kaleidoscope of historical events. Inspired by Jenny White's own
experiences as a student in Turkey during this tumultuous period as
well as original oral histories of Turks who lived through it,
Turkish Kaleidoscope reveals how violent factionalism has its own
emotional and cultural logic that defies ideological explanations.

Turkey has leapt to international prominence as an economic and
political powerhouse under its elected Muslim government, and is
looked on by many as a model for other Muslim countries in the wake
of the Arab Spring. In this book, Jenny White reveals how Turkish
national identity and the meanings of Islam and secularism have
undergone radical changes in today's Turkey, and asks whether the
Turkish model should be viewed as a success story or a cautionary
tale. This provocative book traces how Muslim nationalists blur the
line between the secular and the Islamic, supporting globalization
and political liberalism, yet remaining mired in authoritarianism,
intolerance, and cultural norms hostile to minorities and
women.
In a new afterword, White analyzes the latest political
developments, particularly the mass protests surrounding Gezi Park,
their impact on Turkish political culture, and what they mean for
the future.

January 1888. Vera Arti carries The Communist Manifesto in Armenian
through Istanbul's streets, unaware of the men following her. The
police discover a shipload of guns, and the Imperial Ottoman Bank
is blown up. Suspicion falls on a socialist commune that Arti's
friends organized in the eastern mountains. Investigating, Special
Prosecutor Kamil Pasha encounters a ruthless adversary in the
secret police who has convinced the Sultan that the commune is
leading an Armenian secessionist movement and should be destroyed,
along with the surrounding villages. Kamil must stop the massacre,
but he finds himself on the wrong side of the law, framed for
murder and accused of treason, his family and the woman he loves
threatened. The Winter Thief explores the dark obsessions of the
most powerful and dangerous men of the dying Ottoman Empire, as
well as the era's mad idealism.
Constantinople, May 1453. In the dying days of the Byzantine
Empire, Isaak Metochites and his family are entrusted with a silver
reliquary carved with the figure of a weeping angel and the
inscription: Behold the Proof of Chora, Container of the
Uncontainable. Four hundred years later, magistrate Kamil Pasha is
plagued by thefts of antiquities from mosques and churches and a
series of murders in which the bodies bear the same distinctive
mark. Sources lead Kamil to a hidden sect descended from Abyssinian
slaves living in an abandoned cistern in Istanbul's gritty
underworld. The reemergence of the forgotten reliquary sets off a
brutal race between those sworn to protect it and those who will
stop at nothing to gain its explosive secret.
Rich in sensuous detail, this first novel brilliantly captures the
political and social upheavals of the waning Ottoman Empire. The
naked body of a young Englishwoman washes up in Istanbul wearing a
pendant inscribed with the seal of the deposed sultan. The death
resembles the murder by strangulation of another English governess,
a crime that was never solved. Kamil Pasha, a magistrate in the new
secular courts, sets out to find the killer, but his dispassionate
belief in science and modernity is shaken by betrayal and widening
danger. In a lush, mystical voice, a young Muslim woman, Jaanan,
recounts her own relationships with one of the dead women and her
suspected killer. Were these political murders involving the palace
or crimes of personal passion? An absorbing tale that transports
the reader to nineteenth-century Turkey, this novel is also a
lyrical meditation on the contradictory desires of the human soul.
Reading group guide included. Includes the first chapter of the
next Kamil Pasha novel.

The emergence of an Islamist movement and the startling buoyancy of
Islamic political parties in Turkey--a model of secular
modernization, a cosmopolitan frontier, and NATO ally--has puzzled
Western observers. As the appeal of the Islamist Welfare Party
spread through Turkish society, including the middle class, in the
1990s, the party won numerous local elections and became one of the
largest parties represented in parliament, even holding the prime
ministership in 1996 and 1997. Welfare was formally banned and
closed in 1998, and its successor, Virtue, was banned in 2001, for
allegedly posing a threat to the state, but the Islamist movement
continues to grow in popularity. Jenny White has produced an
ethnography of contemporary Istanbul that charts the success of
Islamist mobilization through the eyes of ordinary people. Drawing
on neighborhood interviews gathered over twenty years of fieldwork,
she focuses intently on the genesis and continuing appeal of
Islamic politics in the fabric of Turkish society and among
mobilizing and mobilized elites, women, and educated populations.
White shows how everyday concerns and interpersonal relations,
rather than Islamic dogma, helped Welfare gain access to community
networks, building on continuing face-to-face relationships by way
of interactions with constituents through trusted neighbors. She
argues that Islamic political networks are based on cultural
understandings of relationships, duties, and trust. She also
illustrates how Islamic activists have sustained cohesion despite
contradictory agendas and beliefs, and how civic organizations,
through local relationships, have ensured the autonomy of these
networks from the national political organizations in whose service
they appear to act. To illuminate the local culture of Istanbul,
White has interviewed residents, activists, party officials, and
municipal administrators and participated in their activities. She
draws on rich experiences and research made possible by years of
firsthand observation in the streets and homes of Umraniye, a large
neighborhood that grew in tandem with Turkey's modernization in the
late 20th century. This book will appeal to anthropologists,
sociologists, historians, and analysts of Islamic and Middle
Eastern politics.
An investigation of the processes of globalization in the context
of Istanbul - one of the oldest and grandest of world cities.
Istanbul is usually identified as a battleground between East and
West, between Islam and secularism. Yet the authors argue that
beyond these cliches lies a complex reality shaped by an ongoing
struggle over the soul of the city and the identity of its
inhabitants. Istanbulites try to accommodate, understand, challenge
and shape the sweeping transformations that globalization has
brought to their city. Explaining the course of the conflicts and
the compromises involved in maintaining a precarious urbanity, this
volume focuses on the fields of struggle ranging from politics to
heritage, humour to music, public space to housing.
