Reviews

"This volume, edited by Isabel David and Kumru Toktamis, is one of the first attempts to assess the mark Istanbul’s Gezi Park protests in May and June 2013 have left on Turkey’s political scene. The book’s most important contribution is its portrayal of the vibrancy of the Gezi Park protests and the possibilities of bottom-up citizen engagement." -- L’ubica Polláková IN International Affairs
