Are we captives of history?

"The essays in this volume examine the assumptions, images and stereotypes developed about the 'Other' through the long historical relationship between Turkey and Europe, focusing especially on European images of 'the Turk'. They also explore the interaction of the two parties at different times and in different geographical locations. Chronologically, they range from the origins of the 'East/West controversy' in classical times, to the present question concerning the future relationship of Turkey and 'Europe'." "This volume provides a valuable source of knowledge for those interested in the persistence, as well as the transformation, of basic notions throughout history, and in seeking a deeper understanding of how present day attitudes and arguments are related to historical memory."--BOOK JACKET.
