About the Book

This volume gives a thorough and comprehensive analysis of the Kurdish issue in Turkey from a spatial perspective that takes into account geographical variations in identity formation, exclusion and political mobilisation. Although analysis of Turkey’s Kurdish issue from a spatial perspective is not new, spatial analyses are still relatively scarce. More often than not, Kurdish studies consist of time-centred work. In this book, the attention is shifted from outcome-oriented analysis of transformation in time towards a spatial analysis. The authors in this book discuss the spatial production of home, identity, work, in short, of being in the world. The contributions are based on the tacit avowal that the Kurdish question, in addition to being a question of group rights, is also one of spatial relations. By asking a different set of questions, this book examines; which spatial strategies have been employed to deal with Kurds? Which spatial strategies are developed by Kurds to deal with state, and with the neo-liberal turn? How are these strategies absorbed and what counter-strategies are developed, both in cities populated by the Kurds in south-eastern Turkey and in other regions? Emphasizing that identity or place, its particularity or uniqueness, arises from social practices and social relations, this book is essential reading for scholars and researchers working in Kurdish and Turkish Studies, Urban and Rural Studies and Politics more broadly.

About the Author :
Joost Jongerden is Assistant Professor of Sociology and Anthropology of Development, Wageningen University, the Netherlands. His research interests include; the sociology of space and place, the socio-spatial dimensions of protest and violent conflict. Zeynep Gambetti is Associate Professor of political theory at Boğazici University. Her research interests include; collective action, ethics, and public space. She co-edited Rhetorics of Insecurity: Belonging and Violence in the Neoliberal Era (2013), and the special issue of The Journal of Balkan and Near Eastern Studies on the spatial dimensions of the Kurdish question in Turkey.

Review :
It is also an essential cross-cultural reference for those working on nationalism, ethinicity, and space and place. In this sense, Gambetti and Jongerden's statements are crucial in underscoring that a focus on space is not merely "a scholastic excercise," but an urgently needed component of "resolution efforts" not just in Turkey, but in other parts of the world that have witnessed and endured similar ethnic tensions and conflicts.- Senem Kaptan, Rutgers University
