Between 1945 and 1960 the birth of a multi-party democracy and NATO membership radically transformed Turkey''s foreign relations and domestic politics. As Turkish politicians intellectuals and voters rethought their country''s relationship with its past and its future to facilitate democratization a new alliance with the United States was formed. In this book Nicholas L. Danforth demonstrates how these transformations helped consolidate a consensus on the nature of Turkish modernity that continues to shape current political and cultural debates. He reveals the surprisingly nuanced and often paradoxical ways that both secular modernizers and their Islamist critics deployed Turkey''s famous clichs about East and West as well as tradition and modernity to advance their agendas. By drawing on a diverse array of published and archival sources Danforth offers a tour de force exploration of the relationship between democracy diplomacy modernity Westernization Ottoman historiography and religion in mid-century Turkey.
