Abstract

The Westernization of Turkey
Turlington, Edgar | June 1, 1927 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the book "Turkey," by Arnold J. Toynbee and Kenneth P. Kirkwood. It is doubtless a mistake for a young man to write a surpassingly good book In "The Western Question in Greece and Turkey" Toynbee five years ago set a standard which makes it difficult to judge fairly the result of his odd-time collaboration with a less-gifted observer and writer. One may note that the best part of the book on Turkey is that which elaborates the view advanced in the earlier book that "everything in contemporary Turkey which has life in itself can be traced back to some Western stimulus and will be found to be a reaction against Western influence when not an emanation from it."
