Laurence Raw is a professor of English at Baskent University in Turkey. He is the author of Exploring Turkish Cultures and Impressions of the Turkish Stage, in addition to numerous books on British and American literature and film.
Raw chooses filmmakers whose films individually, and differently,
reflect personal encounters with the culture, history, and politics
of the Republic of Turkey. Replete with keen insights, this book is
a delight to read and a model for compelling film scholarship and
cultural commentary."" - Dennis Rothermel,California State
University, Chico
""Surprising and innovative. Raw integrates historical research
with literary references and personal reflections, using the work
of contemporary Turkish filmmakers to discuss pressing issues of
identity and transcultural understanding."" - Iain Robert
Smith,King's College London
