Description

Explore the complex reality of Turkish urban life through this insightful study of gecekondus, or shanty towns. In large Turkish cities, these settlements are home to many low-income families who migrated from Central Anatolia villages. This book examines how these communities reflect broader social shifts in Turkey, including changes in welfare, local identity, and religious communities. Author Burcu Genturk provides a unique perspective by drawing on her experience living in an Ankara neighbourhood. The text looks at how the rise of the AKP in the 1990s and 2000s changed the way these areas are viewed and studied. It covers essential topics like the growth of civil society and the impact of modernisation on low-income populations. This work is a valuable resource for anyone studying Middle Eastern history, sociology, or the development of modern Turkey.
