Offers a novel perspective on the establishment of the Turkish nation state and highlights how the Young Turk regime, from 1913 to 1950, subjected Eastern Turkey to various forms of nationalist population policies aimed at ethnically homogenizing the region and including it in the Turkish nation state. The book will be a bonanza for those who want to acquire a comparative perspective on the development of nationalism in other places. A short review cannot do justice to this rich book. One has to read it oneself and learn.
