TURKISH AWAKENING: A PERSONAL DISCOVERY OF MODERN TURKEY
Book ID/图书代码： 02630513B64872
English Summary/英文概要： In recent years Turkey has become a boom place for tourism and business. But in June 2013 the eruption of protests laid bare the tensions accrued over a decade of economically successful but increasingly autocratic rule by the religious Justice and Development Party. Until recently, middle class Turks unhappy with Prime Minister Erdogan’s strongman-style of leadership have grumbled quietly while Turkey has grown in status and prestige on the international scene. Now, they have awoken and are determined to have their grievances heard. The religious working class, on the other hand, insist that life has never been better.
Alev Scott explores the shifts in Turkish society in recent years, and the roots of the indelible patriotism that characterizes every Turk, whatever their politics. From the European buzz of Istanbul to the strife-torn villages of the South East, Turkey is a country going through rapid change. Mass migration, urbanisation and a growing awareness of human rights have changed the social, economical and physical landscapes of a powerful country.
The book delves into the Turkish psyche and looks ahead at the immediate future of a country the whole world is watching.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 近年来，土耳其因为旅游业和商业的快速发展而愈加繁荣。但是2013年7月爆发的示威游行显示出几十年来经济成功的背后，宗教正义和发展党派愈加专制的统治。直至近日，中产阶级土耳其人才表明他们对总理埃尔多安的铁腕政策早有微词。土耳其如今在国际舞台上的地位和声望日益提高，所以土耳其人决心让自己的声音被世界听到。而另一方面，宗教工人阶级又坚持认为他们的生活没有任何改善。
阿莱夫.斯科特探析了土耳其近年来的变化，以及无论哪个党派的土耳其人，他们爱国主义的共同根源。土耳其从伊斯坦布尔发展起来，抵挡住外敌的侵略，历经了很多的变化，如大规模的移民，城市化进程，人权意识的日益加强，这些已经使这个强大的国家在社会，经济，自然景观上都大大改变了。
《土耳其的觉醒》深入探析了土耳其人的心理，这个国家未来的发展将引起全世界的关注。(XAT)
