    First Published in 1967. This volume brings together four studies that seek to update the known images of the Ottoman Turks and of a Republican Turkey. For an understanding of present-day Turkey, the traditional sources are central, but they no longer stand alone or even unchallenged. Today, scholars are bringing the perspectives and tools of economics, sociology, anthropology, politics, cultural geography, and other social disciplines to the study of Turkey. Their findings are broadening and deepening knowledge concerning Turkey's history and her present position.
