Summary:
This groundbreaking volume investigates the processes of globalization in the context of Istanbul, one of the oldest and grandest of world cities. Istanbul usually is identified as a battleground between East and West, between Islam and securalism. Yet the authors argue that beyond these clichés lies a complex reality shaped by an ongoing struggle over the soul of the city and the identity of its inhabitants. Istanbulies try to accommodate, understand, challenge, and shape the sweeping transformations that globalization has brought to their city. Explaining the course of the conflicts and the compromises involved in maintaining a precarious urbanity, this theoretically informed volume focuses on the fields of struggle ranging from politics to heritage, humor to music, public space to housing.
