Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learning to Become Turkmen examines the ways in which the iconography of everyday life—in dramatically different alphabets, multiple languages, and shifting education policies—reflects the evolution of Turkmen society in Central Asia over the past century. As Victoria Clement shows, the formal structures of the Russian imperial state did not affect Turkmen cultural formations nearly as much as Russian language and Cyrillic script. Their departure was also as transformative to Turkmen politics and society as their arrival. Complemented by extensive fieldwork, Learning to Become Turkmen is the first book in a Western language to draw on Turkmen archives, as it explores how Eurasia has been shaped historically. Revealing particular ways that Central Asians relate to the rest of the world, this study traces how Turkmen consciously used language and pedagogy to position themselves within global communities such as the Russian/Soviet Empire, the Turkic cultural continuum, and the greater Muslim world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sunni Islam has played an ambivalent role in Turkey's Kurdish conflict--both as a conflict resolution tool and as a tool of resistance. Under the Banner of Islam uses Turkey as a case study to understand how religious, ethnic, and national identities converge in ethnic conflicts between co-religionists. Gülay Türkmen asks a question that informs the way we understand religiously homogeneous ethnic conflicts today: Is it possible for religion to act as a resolution tool in these often-violent conflicts? In search for answers to this question, in Under the Banner of Islam, Türkmen journeys into the inner circles of religious elites from different backgrounds: non-state-appointed local Kurdish meles, state-appointed Kurdish and Turkish imams, heads of religious NGOs, and members of religious orders. Blending interview data with a detailed historical analysis that goes back as far as the nineteenth century, she argues that the strength of Turkish and Kurdish nationalisms, the symbiotic relationship between Turkey's religious and political fields, the religious elites' varying conceptualizations of religious and ethnic identities, and the recent political developments in the region (particularly in Syria) all contribute to the complex role religion plays in the Kurdish conflict in Turkey. Under the Banner of Islam is a specific story of religion, ethnicity, and nationalism in Turkey's Kurdish conflict, but it also tracks a broader narrative of how ethnic and religious identities are negotiated when resolving conflicts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On October 27, 1991, the Turkmen Soviet Socialist Republic declared its independence from the Soviet Union. Hammer and sickle gave way to a flag, a national anthem, and new holidays. Seven decades earlier, Turkmenistan had been a stateless conglomeration of tribes. What brought about this remarkable transformation? Tribal Nation addresses this question by examining the Soviet effort in the 1920s and 1930s to create a modern, socialist nation in the Central Asian Republic of Turkmenistan. Adrienne Edgar argues that the recent focus on the Soviet state as a "maker of nations" overlooks another vital factor in Turkmen nationhood: the complex interaction between Soviet policies and indigenous notions of identity. In particular, the genealogical ideas that defined premodern Turkmen identity were reshaped by Soviet territorial and linguistic ideas of nationhood. The Soviet desire to construct socialist modernity in Turkmenistan conflicted with Moscow's policy of promoting nationhood, since many Turkmen viewed their "backward customs" as central to Turkmen identity. Tribal Nation is the first book in any Western language on Soviet Turkmenistan, the first to use both archival and indigenous-language sources to analyze Soviet nation-making in Central Asia, and among the few works to examine the Soviet multinational state from a non-Russian perspective. By investigating Soviet nation-making in one of the most poorly understood regions of the Soviet Union, it also sheds light on broader questions about nationalism and colonialism in the twentieth century.

Book excerpt: Turkmen is the official language of the Republic of Turkmenistan, where more than two million people speak it. There are a further one million Turkmen speakers divided between Iran, Afghanistan, and to a lesser extent Turkey, Uzbekistan, Pakistan, the United States, and Germany. Turkmen has been transliterated into various scripts, but in 1996 a specially modified Roman alphabet replaced the Cyrillic script in Turkmenistan. This book contains a resourceful two-way dictionary that indicates parts of speech and provides clear examples to help clarify ambiguous meanings. Also included are an informative grammar and a brief guide to pronunciation. A collection of travel-oriented phrases comprises such diverse topics as "Relief Aid" and "Getting Around." Important notes on Turkmen culture, as well as travel information, are also given.

Book excerpt: Bu çalışma, Anadolu’da yüzyıllardır yapılan ve kullanılan bir örgü geleneğimiz olan oya ile ilgilidir. Bu çalışmada, Kadirli yöresinde örülen ve kullanılan oyalar ele alınmıştır. Bunun için yazar, çeşitli tarihlerde İstanbul’dan Kadirli’ye gelerek çeyizinde oya ve oyalı yağlık olduğunu bildiği en yakın akrabalarından başlayarak, komşular, uzak komşular ve araştırma için gittiği birçok köyde oya sahibi hanımları bulmuş, oyalarını görmüş ve yüzlerce fotoğraf çekerek bu eseri oluşturmuştur. Yazara göre, her gün insanların önünden çok sayıda fırsat akıp gitmektedir. Hatta bu fırsatlardan bir bölümü maddi kazanımlar sağlayacak fırsatlardır ama, bu kaçan fırsatların içinde onu en çok üzenler bir daha gelmemek üzere kaybolup gidenlerin yazılı ortama aktarılamaması olmuştur. Onlar; kültürümüzün kaybolanlarıdır; dedelerimizin, ninelerimizin anlattıkları yazıya geçmemiş olan ağıtlar, türküler, hikayeler, masallar, atasözleri, bilmeceler, oya adları, nakış adları, köy yaşamı ile, yaban hayatı ile, orman, börtü böcekle ilgili olanlardır. Onlar; köylerde, dağlarda, derelerde bıraktıklarımızdır. Birçoğu yaşlılarımızla ve terk etmek zorunda kaldığımız köy hayatı ile beraber kaybolanlardır. Ölülerimiz nasıl yok olup gitmişlerse, ne yazık ki onlar da şimdilik kaybolup gidenler arasındadır.
