ISBN:
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit

Pages : 196
Book Description
“Aye, and I saw Sisyphus in violent torment, seeking to raise a monstrous stone with both his hands. Verily he would brace himself with hands and feet, and thrust the stone toward the crest of a hill, but as often as he was about to heave it over the top, the weight would turn it back, and then down again to the plain would come rolling the ruthless stone. But he would strain again and thrust it back, and the sweat flowed down from his limbs, and dust rose up from his head." HOMER We, Humans, are like Sisyphus. We've been trying to get the rock up the hill for the rest of our lives, but each time we roll down with the rock. The protagonist of the book tries to find a way to raise the rock and not roll back.

Street-Level Governing
Author: Elise Massicard
Publisher: Stanford University Press
ISBN: 1503631869
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 450
Book Description
Muhtars, the lowest level elected political position in Turkey, hold an ambiguously defined place within the administrative hierarchy. They are public officials, but local citizens do not always associate them with the central government. Street-Level Governing is the first book to investigate how muhtars carry out their role—not only what they are supposed to do, but how they actually operate—to provide an ethnographic study of the state as viewed from its margins. It starts from the premise that the seeming "margin" of state administration is not peripheral at all, but instructive as to how it functions. As Elise Massicard shows, muhtars exist at the intersection of everyday life and the exercise of power. Their position offers a personalized point of contact between citizens and state institutions, enabling close oversight of the citizenry, yet simultaneously projecting the sense of an accessible state to individuals. Challenging common theories of the state, Massicard outlines how the position of the muhtar throws into question an assumed dichotomy between domination and social resistance, and suggests that considerations of circumvention and accommodation are normal attributes of state-society functioning.

Book Description
"When Jenny White arrived in Turkey in 1975 to pursue a master's degree in Ankara, she had no idea that the country and her university were already embroiled in a vicious civil war ... In the simple everyday act of attending class, she encountered armed personnel carriers, bullets, bombs, and other dangers. By the time she left in 1978, the polarized fury of street violence between groups professing 'leftist' and 'rightist' views had enveloped the entire country ... Based on the author's personal experiences and her in-depth oral history interviews with older Turks who lived through that tumultuous period--and informed by her years of ethnographic research in that country--this graphic narrative book explores the origins of political factionalism and its descent into violence in 1970s Turkey"--
