Modernism and Nation Building by Sibel Bozdogan
A cultural history of modern Turkish architecture and its connections to European modernism."The time-worn tale of the modern movement in architecture has gained a vital new chapter and fresh meanings in this exceptional study of Turkish modernism. . . Bozdogan's study of the particular cultural and political circumstances for modernism in Turkey effectively destroys the notion that modern architecture in so-called non-Western cultures was merely an extension of Western developments and opens the door to much-needed parallel studies of modernism worldwide. This is postcolonial writing at its best."
* Choice *"There is no doubt that Bozdogan's study on Turkish architectural culture is an important piece of scholarship, one that will be read and reread by those of us interested in the negotiation of modernity and nationalism in Turkey. It also constitutes a significant contribution to the comparative study of 20th-century nationalisms."
* Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians *"An invaluable contribution to the history of early-twentieth-century architecture..whose inclusion in any survey of modern architecture is a necessity."
* CAA Reviews *"An interesting and engaging book that promises to become a cornerstone of our course syllabi for modern Turkish art, history, and politics. This is interdisciplinary work at its best; it utilizes architecture, history, political science, and cultural studies in a creative mix that is fresh, insightful and stimulating for further debate."
* H-Net Reviews *Sibel Bozdogan is director of liberal studies at the Boston Architectural Center. She is the coeditor of Rethinking Modernity and National Identity in Turkey and the coauthor of Sedad Eldem: Architect in Turkey.
