    "description": "<p>\"A beautifully crafted exploration into the nature and significance of the oppositional figure in late Ottoman and post-Ottoman Turkey.\"--Ussama Makdisi, author of <em>Age of Coexistence: The Ecumenical Frame and the Making of the Modern Arab World</em> \"The first comprehensive study of opposition in the Middle East during the critical decades of empire-to-nation transmutation. A compelling and accessible investigation.\"--Hasan Kayali, author of <em>Arabs and Young Turks: Ottomanism, Arabism, and Islamism in the Second Constitutional Period of the Ottoman Empire, 1908-1918</em> \"Once again, Christine Philliou has written a book that changes the field of late Ottoman and early Turkish Republican history. Skillfully using the figure of Refik Halit Karay as a foil, Philliou disturbs the typical approach to the transit from Ottoman Empire to Turkish Republic. Drawing on the concept of 'opposition' embodied in this 'anti-nationalist nationalist' figure, <em>Turkey: A Past Against History</em> productively--and provocatively--unsettles the lexicon of Turkish historiography.\"--Benjamin Fortna, author of <em>The Circassian: A Life of E\u015fref Bey, Late Ottoman Insurgent and Special Agent</em></p>",
