Recent developmentshave included the promotion of tea as a cash crop, disappointments in this market, and the opening of the bordercrossing to Georgia shortly before the collapse of the Soviet Union. These are analysed in the context of moregeneral changes in Turkish civil society and widespread doubts about the continued viability of the secularinstitutions of AtatŸrk's republic. Ethnicity is one significant aspect of social identities in this region. Mostpeople acknowledge some form of identity as Lazi and many speak Lazuri, a language that is related toGeorgian, not Turkish. The self identifications of Lazuri speakers themselves do not, however, endorse theweight currently given to ethnicity by many Western scholars, as well as some intellectuals elsewhere in Turkey.Religion seems much more significant. Like the other groups in this region, most Lazi are strongly committed toIslam, but critical of recent fundamentalist trends. They combine this with strong loyalty to their nation andappreciation of all that the secular state us done to modernize' and integrate' this region over the last half century.The volume makes a significant contribution to the anthropological literature on Turkey and the Middle Easternand Black Sea regions. It will also appeal to Turkish specialists in other disciplines and to all those interested incurrent debates in the social sciences about identity, ethnicity and globalization.Ildik— Bell r-Hann is Lecturer in Turkish studies, Martin Luther University, Halle Chris Hann is Director of theMax Planck Institute for Social Anthropology, HalleIntroduction State Market Civil society Patriarchy Marriage Islam, I Islam, II Identities Civilization or culture?BibliographySeries: World Anthropology ; Co-publishersUS & Canada: School of American Research PressPP:About 320|Illustrations: photos maps|Format: 234 x 156En vrac :-HACISALİHOĞLU İ.Y.
