    [NT 15000229]: Turkey is at the core of many current intellectual and political debates. Questions about thefuture of secularism, the relationship between Islam and democracy and the future of the Middle Eastand Europe all touch upon Turkey. These debates can benefit greatly from substantive examinations of the political institutions of the Turkish Republic and the historical evolution of its society andculture in the twentieth century. Turkey's Engagement with Modernity brings together twenty-four leading scholars of Turkish Studies, who revisit Turkey's 'modern century.' The essays range from highpolitics and international relations to examinations of the intricate webs of social and religiousnetworks, micro-histories, literature and music. Together they look at the successesand crises which the nationalist project created, and the instances ofresistance and opposition it triggered. The book explores how the country was shaped in the image of the Kemalist project of nationalist modernity and how it was transformed, if erratically, into a democratic society where tensions between religion, state and society continue unabated.
