Turkish Kaleidoscope: Fractured Lives In A Time Of Violence

When Jenny White arrived in Turkey in 1975 to pursue a master's degree in Ankara, she had no idea that the country and her university were already embroiled in a vicious civil war ... In the simple everyday act of attending class, she encountered armed personnel carriers, bullets, bombs, and other dangers. By the time she left in 1978, the polarized fury of street violence between groups professing 'leftist' and 'rightist' views had enveloped the entire country ... Based on the author's personal experiences and her in-depth oral history interviews with older Turks who lived through that tumultuous period--and informed by her years of ethnographic research in that country--this graphic narrative book explores the origins of political factionalism and its descent into violence in 1970s Turkey--
