About this book

The aim of this collection of essays, the first academic book on the topic in English, is to offer a preliminary analysis of Gezi protests and address the following questions: 'How can we account for the protests?' and 'Who were the protesters?'

Reviews

“This volume is a collection of valuable and comprehensive chapters analyzing the Gezi protests in terms of neo-liberal policies, privatization, authoritarianism, public space, the resistance of bodies against the contemporary regime and its policies, and the social and political outcomes of the protests. Each chapter contains important points and various aspects that concentrate on the protests’ dynamics and processes, even if they are not systematically connected.” (Betül Baki, Southeastern Europe, Vol. 40 (2), 2016)
