Book Review: “The Emergence of Modern Turkey”
Abstract
The book systematically investigates Turkey’s transformation into a modern nation-state from the decline of the Ottoman Empire to the mid-20th century through its structure, content, academic insights, and potential drawbacks. The first chapter, “The Stages of Emergence,” provides a chronological overview of critical developments, including the decline of the Ottoman Empire, Western influence, reforms, nationalist movements, and the Kemalist Revolution. The second chapter, “Aspects of Changes,” delves deeper into four specific topics: Turkish identity and nationalism, government policy, religious reforms, and economic and social development. Lewis explores the evolution of Turkish nationalism, the role of the state in governance, the impact of secularism on religion and culture, and the implementation of statist economic policies. While praising Lewis’s meticulous research and scholarly approach, the review also acknowledges the potential drawbacks of the work, such as the limited focus on certain aspects of the transformation and the Eurocentric perspective in some sections.
