Making the Afro-Turk Identity
Vocabularies of (In)Visibilities: (Re)Making the Afro-Turk Identity AYşEGÜL KAYAGIL* Abstract After the abolition of slavery towards the end of the Ottoman Empire, the majority of freed black slaves who remained in Anatolia were taken to state “guesthouses” in a number of cities throughout the Empire, the most im- portant of which was in Izmir. Despite their longstanding presence, the descendants of these black slaves – today, citizens of the Republic of Turkey – have until recently remained invisible both in the official historiography and in academic scholarship of history and social science. It is only since the establishment of the Association of Afro-Turks in 2006 that the black popu- lation has gained public and media attention and a public discussion has fi- nally begun on the legacies of slavery in Turkey. Drawing on in-depth inter- views with members of the Afro-Turk community (2014-2016), I examine the key role of the foundation of the Afro-Turk Association in reshaping the ways in which they think of themselves, their shared identity and history. Keywords: Afro-Turks, Ottoman slavery, Turkishness, blackness Introduction “Who are the Afro-Turks?” has been the most common response I got from my friends and family back home in Turkey, who were puzzled to hear that my doctoral research concerned the experiences of the Afro-Turk commu- nity. I would explain to them that the Afro-Turks are the descendants of en- slaved Africans who were brought to the Ottoman Empire over a period of 400 years and this brief introduction helped them recall. -
Western Culture in Eastern Lands;
LfBRARY UNIVERSITY OF '"RNIA rt SAN >IEGO WESTERN CULTURE IN EASTERN LANDS WESTERN CULTURE IN EASTERN LANDS A COMPARISON OF THE METHODS ADOPTED BY ENGLAND AND RUSSIA IN THE MIDDLE EAST BY ARMINIUS VAMBERY, C.V.O. AUTHOR OF 'TRAVELS IN CENTRAL ASIA,' 'HISTORY OF BOKHARA,' ETC LONDON JOHN MURRAY, ALBEMARLE STREET, W. 1906 PREFACE DURING the many years that I have been engaged in studying the political and cultural questions of Inner Asia, it has often been laid to my charge that, in my criticism and appreciation of the two chief factors of our civilising influence in the East, I have not taken up a purely objective standpoint, and that, because of my partiality to the one, I have not been quite fair to the other. In Europe the prevailing idea is that the Russians, who in many respects are themselves still semi- Asiatic, are better fitted to undertake the civilisation of Asia, and will be more likely to bring about the transition from one sphere of action to another, than the English, the accomplished representatives of Western culture, who lack the necessary pliability, and whose stiff, proud bearing is supposed to be detrimental to the work of transformation. To prove the erroneousness of this view, and also to defend myself against the accusation of an unjustifiable partiality, these pages have been written. The comparative survey of the various innovations and reforms introduced by Russia and by England respectively, which I have endeavoured to give, will convince the reader that, in forming my conclusions, I have not been guided by personal motives, but that they are the outcome of a close investigation of what has actually been done by our two Culture-bearers. -
African Diasporas in the Ottoman Empire and Modern Turkey
AFRICAN DIASPORAS IN THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE AND MODERN TURKEY by BANU ÖZSAR Submitted to the Graduate School of Social Sciences in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Sabancı University December 2020 AFRICAN DIASPORAS IN THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE AND MODERN TURKEY Approved by: Date of Approval: December 24, 2020 BANU ÖZSAR 2020 © All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT AFRICAN DIASPORAS IN THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE AND MODERN TURKEY BANU ÖZSAR POLITICAL SCIENCE M.A. THESIS, DECEMBER 2020 Thesis Supervisor: Asst. Prof. Yusuf Hakan Erdem Keywords: historical consciousness, historiography, Ottoman slavery, race and ethnicity This study critically reviews historical narratives on Black enslaved people in the Ottoman Empire to better comprehend their self-conscious efforts to build commu- nities despite the conditions forced upon them and their legacies in Modern Turkey. Inquiring about these entities leads one to trail some complexities lost to the narra- tion of the past, primarily Black enslaved people’s agencies. Therefore, it sets out to explore their agencies and the dynamic nature of their living ways through breaking down many of the concepts, narratives, and historiographies that appear neutral, thus channeling many historical actors to the taxonomy of humanness. Through this framework, the present dissertation aspires to indicate Black enslaved people’s subsistences in the history of Turkey to challenge the process to become discernable by bringing the heterogeneities and complexities of historical African diasporas in the Ottoman Empire and Turkey to light. iv ÖZET OSMANLI İMPARATORLUĞU VE MODERN TÜRKİYE’DE AFRİKA DİASPORALARI BANU ÖZSAR SIYASET BILIMI YÜKSEK LİSANS TEZİ, ARALIK 2020 Tez Danışmanı: Dr. -

The Glory of Africa Part 5
The Glory of Africa Part 5 Once again, it's on. I envisioned writing about my people before the year 2000. Back in the 1990’s, I started to understand my glorious black cultural identity. My parents had books on black culture stretching back in the 1970’s. I am truly appreciative and happy about describing the wonderful legacy of my own people. Looking at 2012 and beyond has opened my eyes about new issues plus future horizons. The essence of the beauty of Africa is found in that great continent’s people, wildfire, its environment, and its glorious history. In real life, I know brothers and sisters from the States who went into Africa and they had an excellent time over there. Hopefully before I meet up with the ancestors & God, I will have chance to visit Africa. With all of the occurrences in the Universe, it’s time for us to be active in executing real solutions directly for our people. We live in profoundly interesting age that deals with economic, technological, and social issues. We are in a new phrase of the human rights movement. The world is ever complex with its cellphones, I-Pads, smartphones, and other computerized devices, but the GLORY OF AFRICA is never diminished. Africa is the black people's sovereign land. I am blessed to be black. I am black and I am beautiful . Far too often, society omits the real significance of Black African history. On the other hand, in this prose, real history will never be obfuscated here. Our people made momentous accomplishments from music to engineering. -
117 Köroğlu Ve Albert Camus'da Başkaldırı Ali Osman GÜNDOĞAN1, Sibel Turhan TUNA2 Öz Araştırma Makalesi Rebellion In
Sosyal ve Beşeri Bilimler Araştırmaları Dergisi Bahar/Spring 2018, Cilt/Volume 19 Journal of Social Sciences and Humanities Researches Sayı/Issue 41 Köroğlu ve Albert Camus’da Başkaldırı Ali Osman GÜNDOĞAN1, Sibel Turhan TUNA2 Öz Araştırma Makalesi Köroğlu, bilinçli eylemleriyle destanlaşan bir şahsiyet ve başkaldırma felsefesinin somut bir örneği olarak, adaletsizliğe, eşitsizliğe, kötülüğe, sınıf ayrımına, başkaldırarak bu durumu kendi varoluş sebebi saymış, yaşam ilkesi olarak görmüştür. Anlatmalarda, isyan halindeki Köroğlu, “Başkaldırıyorum, öyleyse bu dünyada ben de varım” ya da “var olmak için başkaldırıyorum” diyebilen ve varoluş sebebinin bilincinde olan bir şahsiyet olup aynı zamanda onun gibi düşünen insanların prototipidir. Onun başkaldırısına, kendi varoluşsal özelliğini kazandıran, absürt olan dünyaya ve bu dünyada yaşadıklarına karşı, eylemlerinde ortaya çıkmıştır. Türk Halk Edebiyatı ürünleri içinde tıpkı kaçak anlatmalarında olduğu gibi, Köroğlu’nun şahsiyeti etrafında oluşan anlatmaların hemen hepsinde ‘başkaldırı eylemi’ni bulmak mümkündür. Dolayısıyla bu çalışmanın da hareket noktasını, disiplinler arası bir yaklaşımla (edebiyat ve felsefe arasındaki ilişkiden hareketle), Köroğlu anlatmalarının başkahramanı Köroğlu’nun şahsiyetinde ve eylemlerinde ‘bir tür absürt olanın aşılması’ anlamına da gelen başkaldırma felsefesi oluşturmaktadır. Anahtar Kelimeler: Köroğlu Destanı, Başkaldırı, Absürt, Başkaldırma Felsefesi Rebellion in Koroghlu and Albert Camus Abstract Research Paper As a character becoming epic by his conscious actions and a concrete example of rebellion philosophy, Koroghlu revolts against injustice, inequality, malignance and class discrimination, and considered the case as the reason for his existence and his principle of life. The revolting Koroghlu is a character aware of his reason of existence, who is able to say “I revolt, therefore I also exist in this world”, or “I revolt for existing” in the narratives, and at the same time, he is the prototype of the people who think like him. -

Prof. Dr., Okan Universiy , [email protected] ORCID Number: 0000-0002-9165-7037 Received: 22..12.2017 Accepted: 21.03.2018 ABSTRACT Epics as products of oral literature tradition have found their way into the forms of performance since the disappearance of the epic tradition, opera being one of such forms of performance. Difficulties are observed in the teaching of epics in high-schools because they express the life and times of an era distant from the students’ time period. In the teaching of epics, it is possible to make use of multi-dimensional contributions made by an inter-disciplinary learning environment and form an effective learning environment by means of the works adapted from epics to opera. The present paper aims to present the relationship between epics and opera, a short history of opera in Turkey, major works adapted from Turkish and world epics, the benefits of making use of the works adapted from epics to opera, the works of literature and opera with titles, and some ways of making use of them in the teaching of epics.

Alchemy in Eastern Literature
Khazar Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences Volume 23 № 1 2020, 22-47 © Khazar University Press 2020 DOI: 10.5782/2223-2621.2020.23.1.22 Alchemy in Eastern Literature Hamlet Isakhanli Khazar University, Baku, Azerbaijan [email protected] Abstract Alchemy, developing in Ancient Egypt and its environs, was formed during the Islamic age as the branch of science and technology. The transmutation of base metals into noble metals and attempts to achieve immortality or rejuvenation by elixir or philosopher`s stone have been expansively reflected in Eastern literature and folklore. This research discusses the endeavors of great rulers of the ancient East, alchemists of the pre-Islamic and, especially, Islamic periods, and prominent writers of the Islamic Golden Age and contemporary period who wrote various treatises devoted or related to alchemy and alchemists. Discussions here include the great Sumerian epic “Gilgamesh” and the legend of Alexander the Great’s attempt to gain immortality, as well as the story of alchemist Mary of Copt. The last two are related in a poem by Nizami, prominent representative of the twelfth century Azerbaijani literary school that wrote in Persian. Distinct images of alchemy were rendered in his poems, moreover, he created multi-faceted alchemical metaphors to describe transformations within humanity. Khagani Shirvani, Nizami’s contemporary, and nineteenth century Azerbaijani thinker Mirza Akhundov, also addressed the topic of alchemy, as well as religious mysticism in Islam and alchemy. Alchemical episodes in the works of great figures of Eastern Sufi literature like Al-Ghazali, Suhrawardy, Ibn Arabi and Rumi have been scrutinized. Keywords: alchemy, metal transmutation, immortality, Sufi literature, Azerbaijani literary school, religious mysticism.
