Winner of the William A. Douglass Prize in Europeanist AnthropologyThe emergence of an Islamist movement and the startling buoyancy of Islamic political parties in Turkey--a model of secular modernization, a cosmopolitan frontier, and NATO ally--has puzzled Western observers. As the appeal of the Islamist Welfare Party spread through Turkish society, including the middle class, in the 1990s, the party won numerous local elections and became one of the largest parties represented in parliament, even holding the prime ministership in 1996 and 1997. Welfare was formally banned and closed in 1998, and its successor, Virtue, was banned in 2001, for allegedly posing a threat to the state, but the Islamist movement continues to grow in popularity.Jenny White has produced an ethnography of contemporary Istanbul that charts the success of Islamist mobilization through the eyes of ordinary people. Drawing on neighborhood interviews gathered over twenty years of fieldwork, she focuses intently on the genesis and continuing appeal of Islamic politics in the fabric of Turkish society and among mobilizing and mobilized elites, women, and educated populations.White shows how everyday concerns and interpersonal relations, rather than Islamic dogma, helped Welfare gain access to community networks, building on continuing face-to-face relationships by way of interactions with constituents through trusted neighbors. She argues that Islamic political networks are based on cultural understandings of relationships, duties, and trust. She also illustrates how Islamic activists have sustained cohesion despite contradictory agendas and beliefs, and how civic organizations, through local relationships, have ensured the autonomy of these networks from the national political organizations in whose service they appear to act.To illuminate the local culture of Istanbul, White has interviewed residents, activists, party officials, and municipal administrators and participated in their activities. She draws on rich experiences and research made possible by years of firsthand observation in the streets and homes of Umraniye, a large neighborhood that grew in tandem with Turkey’s modernization in the late 20th century. This book will appeal to anthropologists, sociologists, historians, and analysts of Islamic and Middle Eastern politics.
Del 1 - Kamil Pasha Novels
Sultan's Seal

Rich in sensuous detail, this first novel brilliantly captures the political and social upheavals of the waning Ottoman Empire. The naked body of a young Englishwoman washes up in Istanbul wearing a pendant inscribed with the seal of the deposed sultan. The death resembles the murder by strangulation of another English governess, a crime that was never solved. Kamil Pasha, a magistrate in the new secular courts, sets out to find the killer, but his dispassionate belief in science and modernity is shaken by betrayal and widening danger. In a lush, mystical voice, a young Muslim woman, Jaanan, recounts her own relationships with one of the dead women and her suspected killer. Were these political murders involving the palace or crimes of personal passion? An absorbing tale that transports the reader to nineteenth-century Turkey, this novel is also a lyrical meditation on the contradictory desires of the human soul.Reading group guide included. Includes the first chapter of the next Kamil Pasha novel.

Constantinople, May 1453. In the dying days of the Byzantine Empire, Isaak Metochites and his family are entrusted with a silver reliquary carved with the figure of a weeping angel and the inscription: Behold the Proof of Chora, Container of the Uncontainable. Four hundred years later, magistrate Kamil Pasha is plagued by thefts of antiquities from mosques and churches and a series of murders in which the bodies bear the same distinctive mark. Sources lead Kamil to a hidden sect descended from Abyssinian slaves living in an abandoned cistern in Istanbul's gritty underworld. The reemergence of the forgotten reliquary sets off a brutal race between those sworn to protect it and those who will stop at nothing to gain its explosive secret.

Turkey has leapt to international prominence as an economic and political powerhouse under its elected Muslim government, and is looked on by many as a model for other Muslim countries in the wake of the Arab Spring. In this book, Jenny White reveals how Turkish national identity and the meanings of Islam and secularism have undergone radical changes in today's Turkey, and asks whether the Turkish model should be viewed as a success story or a cautionary tale. This provocative book traces how Muslim nationalists blur the line between the secular and the Islamic, supporting globalization and political liberalism, yet remaining mired in authoritarianism, intolerance, and cultural norms hostile to minorities and women. In a new afterword, White analyzes the latest political developments, particularly the mass protests surrounding Gezi Park, their impact on Turkish political culture, and what they mean for the future.

A powerful graphic novel that traces Turkey's descent into political violence in the 1970s through the experiences of four students on opposing sides of the conflictTurkish Kaleidoscope tells the stories of four unforgettable protagonists as they navigate a society torn apart by violent political factions. It is 1975 and Turkey is on the verge of civil war. Faruk and Orhan are from conservative shopkeeping families in eastern Anatolia that share a sense of new possibilities. Nuray is the daughter of villagers who have migrated to the provincial city where Yunus, the son of an imprisoned teacher, was raised in genteel poverty. While attending medical school in Ankara, Faruk draws a reluctant Orhan into a right-wing nationalist group while Nuray and Yunus join the left. Against a backdrop of escalating violence, the four students fall in love, have their hearts broken, get married, raise families, and struggle to get on with their lives. But the consequences of their decisions will follow them through their lives as their children begin the story anew, skewed through the kaleidoscope of historical events.Inspired by Jenny White's own experiences as a student in Turkey during this tumultuous period as well as original oral histories of Turks who lived through it, Turkish Kaleidoscope reveals how violent factionalism has its own emotional and cultural logic that defies ideological explanations.

Passion Play, »Images of ritual worlds, 1987–2007«, speglar en fotografisk odyssé genom en värld av riter och ritualer. Boktiteln alluderar på påsken, på lidandet och lidelsen, på passionsspelen, på de medeltida mysteriespelen. Men också på andra kollektiva högtider som firas lidelsefullt. Ordet »PLAY« betyder här både pjäs, som i skådespel, men också lek, som i de lekar vi i egenskap av barn och vuxna leker. Fotografierna gestaltar närmare 20 olika skeenden, däribland påsken i Spanien, Italien, Portugal och Grekland, karnevalen i Venedig, pingsten i andalusiska Rocío och De dödas dag i Mexiko. Bilderna vittnar om vårt behov av myter och berättelser. Fotografen har fascinerats av det lekfulla allvar och den mänskliga teater där hopp och sinnesglädje gifter sig med bråddjup och sorg. I ritualerna blir skiljelinjen mellan ödmjuk botgörelse och hänryckning lika genomtränglig som den mellan död och liv. Boken innehåller essän »Död och hänryckning« av författaren och antropologen Jenny White.

BROTT innehåller 30 fotografier i färg av spruckna trottoarplattor. BROTT kan tolkas på många sätt. Den enklaste betydelsen är brott som i orden spricka, reva, skreva, springa, rämna. Därutöver finns ett otal konkreta och bildliga betydelser. Brott som i brottstycken, stenbrott, benbrott, brottyta. Man skulle kunna se fotografierna som en upprättelse för de nedtrampade, osedda trottoarplattorna, och i förlängningen mot allting som är förtrampat. Boken och bilderna upphöjer trottoarplattorna till konst. De spruckna plattorna blir abstrakta målningar, inspirerade av bl.a. Malevitj kvadrater. Tankarna löper också till Dostojevskijs och livets Brott och straff, ”Stockholm noir”. Sprickorna kan också ses som betydelseskiljande bokstäver, runor. Sprickorna skulle också kunna symbolisera gapet mellan olika världar, men också platsen där ljuset sipprar in. Helga Krook har skrivit »Vara här« på svenska och Jenny White »Still Life« på engelska, två noveller inspirerade av fotografierna.
