“Sevgi Adak’s study of the anti-veiling campaigns in 1930s Turkey is a pioneering and successful attempt to get away from the perspective of the central state and to depict realities on the ground, giving agency both to the local party elites who were the driving force behind the campaigns and to those who were at the receiving end."
