Description
Why Turkey is Authoritarian challenges the conventional narrative that has dominated Western perceptions of Turkey for the past century. Halil Karaveli offers a radical alternative, arguing that class analysis provides a more nuanced understanding of Turkish politics.
The author contends that cultural categories have overshadowed more complex realities in discussions of the 'Muslim world', and that these prejudices have informed ideological positions. By examining Turkish history, Karaveli seeks to understand why democracy has eluded Turkey.
This book is published in partnership with the Left Book Club and offers a timely analysis for left-leaning readers facing the global challenge of a rising populist right.
