| What does it mean to be Turkish? In this episode, we examine that question with sociologist Barış Ünlü. In
The Turkishness Contract, Ünlü studies the historical process by which Turkishness develop through a contractual relationship between the state and its citizens. In our conversation, we explore the late Ottoman roots of this process, as well as how the experiences of religious and ethnolinguistic groups shed light onto the often unspoken and unconscious behaviors, attitudes, and beliefs that govern Turkishness. We also discuss the book's
wide reception in Turkish and how in its new English translation, Ünlü connects the Turkish experience to global perspectives on race and belonging in the modern world.
