Fragments of Repression and Resistance

This collection of essays identifies Erdogan’s regime as a historical force to reckon with. It contributes to documenting this history through sites of repression and resistance by focusing on autocratization, hegemony, accumulation and redistribution of wealth, gender, media, culture, and Kurdish politics which have been the loci of the regime.

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has been playing the authoritarian’s game for some time now. Under the polarizing, tense and uncertain conditions of this regime, segments of society in Turkey are still actively resisting to the onslaught of authoritarian measures, coalescing at diverse sites of repression, and protesting against the lack of transparency, arbitrary state actions against citizens, or outright extractivist practices against humans and nature. In this volume, we continue with our critical task of both documenting this resistance and detailing, examining, and analyzing the backsliding of one of the democratically elected governments of the twenty-first century into an authoritarian regime that is domestically punitive and regionally aggressive. By doing so, as academics, we become critical agents in determining the nature and meaning of the legacy of the A.K.P. regime.
