Milada Dönüş: Ulus-Devletten Devlet-Ulusa Türk Ve Kürt Meselesinin Üç İkilemi-Murat Somer TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Without summarizing the plot ... I'm not really familiar with any of Dave Eggers' other books, but I found this one compelling and often infuriating. A non-fiction work that mostly reads like a novel, I couldn't help being provoked by the human (and other animal) casualties of the flailing twitches of a crumbling empire. There's so much to rail at: indifferent bureaucracy; the empire's cruel, amped-up foot soldiers; a power structure suffused with fear and paranoia; the inhumane treatment of animals and the "underclass"; prejudice against the peoples which America has angered in its quest to secure oil supplies (i.e. Arabs); etc. The American elite were angry about Hurricane Katrina because it officially exposed the fact that the U.S. won't be able to hold it together during the jolts and shocks of what James Howard Kunstler calls The Long Emergency. I believe that's why Abdulrahman Zeitoun, and everyone else bullied by the authorities in this account, were so mistreated: when the world you pretend to control is falling apart, you've gotta kick some ass and ask questions later. The earth is reaching its ecological and "resource" limits: are we going to let the state clamp down and treat (most of) us brutally as it desperately tries to hold onto power, or are we going to acknowledge the reality staring us in the face and act constructively, responsibly, and humanely? Sadly, for the elites, probably the former.
