Turkish Working Class History from Tanzimat to Today 1839-2014

From the Tanzimat to the Present Day, Turkish Working Class History 1839-2014 Book Description Since the 1990s, when it was generally accepted that social classes were dead, there has been a quantitative and qualitative awakening in Turkish working class history research. In fact, we are experiencing a spring in this field in the 2000s, because among the young generation of historians who grew up in the neoliberal economic and political system, many young historians interested in labor history emerged. While the global capitalist system was creating anti-social movements, a new generation was becoming more interested in the past of the oppressed and ordinary people. The book you are holding in your hands offers a selection of this new generation of studies on different periods of modern Turkish history, from the Tanzimat period to the present day. With this book, the reader has the opportunity to refresh and question his old knowledge on different periods of Turkey's working class history and to compare them with new findings. Moreover, the points emphasized by some movements and tendencies that international working class and labor history studies have put forward for years are presented to the Turkish reader with new generation studies. The compilation in your hand opens a window to contemporary labor history studies in Turkey for both those closely interested in the subject and the general reader.
