- Summary:
- The collapse of the multiethnic, multireligious, and multilingual Ottoman Empire after World War I led to the establishment of several nation-states, with enormous repercussions for the empire's minority populations. Baskın Oran focuses on religious and ethnic minorities in the Republic of Turkey—home for centuries to Alevites, Armenians, Greeks, Jews, Kurds, Syriacs, and more—to provide a comprehensive analysis encompassing the Ottoman era to the present. Minorities and Minority Rights in Turkey is a revised and updated version of Etnik ve Dinsel Azınlıklar: Tarih, Teori, Hukuk, Türkiye, published by Literatür in 2018.
