 Changing Istanbul
This is not a Travel Guide. It is an anatomy of a cosmopolitan city.The book is about changing Istanbul in last 100 years with most of the emphasis is given to last 50 years when the real change occured. It is about the strugle between secular city view and traditional or Islamic city view for Istanbul. How the mayors tried to give different images to Istanbul based on their political affiliations. How migration from rural areas into cities specifically into istanbul changed the city, it's image and social structure. Although I have my doubts that those who set the policies had the image of the city in mind or if the result was by product of their policies is questionable but two different views constantly reshaped the city.
The scope also extends much broader areas such as Music,fashion and life.
 Fascinating reconceptualization of global/local in Istanbul
This book is a must for anyone seriously interested in Istanbul. Not a travel guide, this book is a collection of essays by Turkish scholars addressing the cultural and material significance of both the "global-city project" in Istanbul and the influx of migrants from rural Turkey. Keyder's brilliant analyses (he contributes three essays to the collection) are matched by the other contributions, all of which are historically and theoretically grounded. Anyone interested in urban studies, world-cities, the global/local dialectic or Turkey today will benefit from reading this book.
