Istanbul, City of the Fearless: Urban Activism, Coup d'Etat, and Memory in Turkey Hardcover - 2020

by Christopher Houston


From the jacket flap

"A groundbreaking study of the revolutionary turmoil in Istanbul between 1974 and 1983. It integrates historiographic and ethnographic methods, provides an edifying historical and sociological background to the events of this period, and makes a significant contribution to a phenomenological approach to history and politics, particularly the vital links between ideological struggles, spatial practices, social imaginaries, and social memory."--Michael Jackson, author of The Politics of Storytelling: Variations on a Theme by Hannah Arendt

"An eloquent and engaging book on spatial politics. It is exceptional not only in its discussion of activists' political-spatial practices and how these shaped Istanbul's urban landscape, but also in its analytical approach to studying the relation between urban political activism and the social production of the city. Bringing together a robust theoretical framework with in-depth empirical research, this has the potential to become a reference book in urban political activism."--Joost Jongerden, Associate Professor, Do-It-Yourself Development, Wageningen University
