The Struggle for Modern Turkey - Justice, Activism and a Revolutionary Female Journalist (Hardcover): Sabiha Sertel The Struggle for Modern Turkey - Justice, Activism and a Revolutionary Female Journalist (Hardcover)
Sabiha Sertel; Edited by Tia O'Brien, Nur Deris; Translated by David Selim Sayers, Evrim Emir-Sayers
R3,385 Discovery Miles 33 850 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Sabiha Sertel was born into revolution in 1895, as an independent Turkey rose out of the dying Ottoman Empire. The nation's first professional female journalist, her unrelenting push for democracy and social reforms ultimately cost Sertel her country and freedom. Shortly before her death in 1968, Sertel completed her autobiography Roman Gibi (Like a Novel), which was written during her forced exile in the Soviet Union. Translated here into English for the first time, and complete with a new introduction and comprehensive annotations, it offers a rare perspective on Turkey's history as it moved to embrace democracy, then violently recoiled. The book reveals the voice of a passionate feminist and committed socialist who clashes with the young republic's leadership. A unique first-hand account, the text foreshadows Turkey's increasingly authoritarian state. Sertel offers her perspective on the fierce divisions over the republic's constitution and covers issues including freedom of the press, women's civil rights and the pre-WWII discussions with European leaders about Hitler's rising power. More information about the book, photographs, reviews and events can be found at a special website dedicated to the book: www.struggleformodernturkey.com
