Opis

This book compares the relatively peaceful relationship between the Berbers and the Moroccan state with the violent relationship between the Kurds and the Turkish state.

Recenzje

'Nation-Building in Turkey and Morocco is elegant, compelling and utterly readable. Aslan's comparative analysis of the different ways local communities responded to state plans for their integration into the nation-state offers a fascinating corrective to the way we typically think about central authority and fills a critical gap in studies of nationalism and state-society relations. It is impossible to read this work and to ever think about state power the same way again.' Nicole F. Watts, San Francisco State University
