- Information
Description
This volume seeks to understand more about the lives and histories of the general population of the Republic of Turkey during the years 1928 and 1945.
During this period, concepts of Turkish nationalism were expounded in a top-down effort to rally the population to be united as Turks.
Being a top-down effort, there needed to be mechanisms through which to transmit these concepts to the general population.
This work assesses the level to which authors of indigenous Turkish detective fiction written between 1928 and 1945 attempted to aid in this process of transmission.
Five series of this period are carefully analysed; the clear conclusion is that there was authorial intent to spread ideas of “Turkism†in each and every series.
