Middle East History Is Social History
My engagement with the social history of the Middle East, as I embarked on graduate studies, coincided with Judith Tucker's lamentation in 1990 that it was a field understudied to the point of being largely ignored. I came to the study of this new region with training in the native history of Canada, which had introduced me to the challenges and rewards of reconstructing the stories of people who had been denied agency in a narrative dominated by…

Ottoman and Republican Turkish Labour History: An Introduction
In European parlance prior to the twentieth century, ''Turkey'' and ''Turk'' were common epithets used to refer respectively to the Ottoman Empire and generally to the Muslim population of the Middle East. Strictly speaking, however, no state by the name of Turkey existed until the formal proclamation of the Republic of Turkey in October 1923, while those who self-identified as Turks were limited largely to the cultural elite inspired by ethnic n…
Provincial Newspapers as a Historical Source: Büyük Ci̇had and the Great Struggle for the Muslim Turkish Nation (1951–53)
Employing rhetoric all too familiar to Turks today, major metropolitan newspapers in Turkey in December 1952 and January 1953 raised the specter of widespread Islamic or religious “reaction” ( irtica ). Staunch defenders of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk's policy of secularism, or laiklik , journalists in Istanbul and Ankara identified the existence of a “black press” ( kara basın ) manipulated by religious “reactionaries” ( mürteci ) determined to use pr…

Revisiting the Turkish Revolution, 1923–1938: Secular Reform and Religious “Reaction” 1
This article explores the common notion that the secular reforms introduced by Turkey's founding President, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, met with constant opposition in the form of Islamic “reaction.” It explores the genealogy of this concept and its place in the historical literature concerning Turkey. The argument is that the idea of Islamic “reaction” results in the misrepresentation of Turkish history and is based on a fundamentally flawed view of …
