Series: Edinburgh Studies on Modern Turkey

Focusing on the intense aftermath of the Gezi park episode, this book scrutinises the ways in which activists pursued a rugged journey of radical democratic mobilisation in Istanbul, including public parks, neighbourhoods and squat houses. Synthesising the findings of field research carried out during 2014-2016 in Istanbul's Yourtcu Park Forum with archival documents and secondary literature, this book weaves the voices of the activists into the narrative. Kaan Aartan offers a critical analysis of the initial force of the Gezi uprising and its subsequent unravelling in reconstituting a more egalitarian society and democratic citizenship in Turkey.

Reviews for Gezi: The Making of a New Political Community in Turkey

This book is a wonderful and strong addition to an emerging body of literature on this time period. It will make a unique contribution in the reconceptualising of social movements - something desperately needed in the field of sociology.--Marina A. Sitrin, Binghamton University
