Abstract

Y. Doğan Çetinkaya’s
The Young Turks and the Boycott Movement. Nationalism, Protest and
the Working Classes in the Formation of Modern Turkey, is among
the recent studies that address the rise of Turkish nationalism in
the late Ottoman Empire. The book provides an in-depth analysis of
the boycotts and protest movements that emerged after the
Constitutional Revolution of 1908, and discusses how such mass
actions became “the most typical tools in the repertoire of the
early Muslim/Turkish nationalism” (s. 2)
