content: Perhaps the most valuable lesson that can be gleamed from this collection of essays is that the resolution of the Kurdish problem will come only with Turkey's realization that it must reform the fundamental characteristic of its particular political basis - Kemalism. As Mark Muller writes, only by abandoning ethno-nationalism for nationalism, which strikes at the heart of Turkey's entire existence since 1920, can Turkey deal successfully with the Kurds. Discovering such a lesson is well worth reading this book. END
