From Jacobins to Revolutionaries - Dynamics of Student Movements in Turkey 1960 1971

From Jacobins to Revolutionaries - Dynamics of Student Movements in Turkey 1960 1971 Book Description Emin Alper's book not only makes a new reading about a period and chain of events that we think we know well, but also draws attention to little-known facts about the student movements in the 1960s. This new reading, based on social movements literature, also takes into account the threats that mobilized students are exposed to, the opportunities they face, and the support they benefit from. In doing so, it says that the '68 student movement can only be understood in the context of the student movements in the first half of the 1960s. In other words, Alper emphasizes that it is essential to look at the blockade that took shape after the May 27 coup in order to understand the period extending to March 12. Another contribution of this book is that it cross-reads student movements in Turkey with student movements in different cities of the world from a comparative perspective. Alper's book is an important resource for Turkey in the period from May 27 to March 12. From Jacobins to Revolutionaries: Dynamics of Student Movements in Turkey, 1960-1971 is a book that will open the door to rethinking and questioning the myths about the Turkish left and the history of the Turkish left.
