About the Book
Studies the trajectory of political activism in the aftermath of the 2013 Gezi park protests in Istanbul.Book Synopsis
Focusing on the intense aftermath of the Gezi park episode, this book scrutinises the ways in which activists pursued a rugged journey of radical democratic mobilisation in Istanbul, including public parks, neighbourhoods and squat houses. Synthesising the findings of field research carried out during 2014-2016 in Istanbul's Yoğurtçu Park Forum with archival documents and secondary literature, this book weaves the voices of the activists into the narrative. Kaan Ağartan offers a critical analysis of the initial force of the Gezi uprising and its subsequent unravelling in reconstituting a more egalitarian society and democratic citizenship in Turkey.Review Quotes
This book is a wonderful and strong addition to an emerging body of literature on this time period. It will make a unique contribution in the reconceptualising of social movements - something desperately needed in the field of sociology.--Marina A. Sitrin, Binghamton University
