Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
An investigation of the process of globalization in the context of Istanbul, usually identified as a battleground between East and West, Islam and secularism. Yet the authors argue that beyond this lies an ongoing struggle over the soul of the city and the identity of its inhabitants.
