It is 1975 and Turkey is on the verge of civil war. Faruk and Orhan are from conservative shopkeeping families in eastern Anatolia that share a sense of new possibilities. Nuray is the daughter of villagers who have migrated to the provincial city where Yunus, the son of an imprisoned teacher, was raised in genteel poverty. While attending medical school in Ankara, Faruk draws a reluctant Orhan into a right-wing nationalist group while Nuray and Yunus join the left. Against a backdrop of escalating violence, the four students fall in love, have their hearts broken, get married, raise families, and struggle to get on with their lives. But the consequences of their decisions will follow them through their lives as their children begin the story anew, skewed through the kaleidoscope of historical events. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eInspired by Jenny White's own experiences as a student in Turkey during this tumultuous period as well as original oral histories of Turks who lived through it, \u003ci\u003eTurkish Kaleidoscope\u003c\/i\u003e reveals how violent factionalism has its own emotional and cultural logic that defies ideological explanations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jenny White\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0691205191\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780691205199\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Princeton University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/04\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.90h x 6.90w x 0.40d","brand":"Jenny White","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44051917799679,"sku":"9780691205199","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_490f8654-8251-4463-9e10-b3e1a44f1fe0.jpg?v=1685015947","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/turkish-kaleidoscope-jenny-white-9780691205199","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
