It is argued that this particular historical understanding is ideologically shaped by Kemalism and Turkish-Islamic Synthesis discourse. These two contradictory and complementary views exist together in the "Turkish Republic History of Renovation and Ataturkism" textbooks, which are used as a tool to convey the regime's ideological stance to the high-school students. In this context, these textbooks are examined in terms of their contents with regard to an identity formation characterized by nationalist, statist, religious but secular values.vii, 88 leavesEnglishinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessKemalismTurkish-Islamic SynthesisHistoryTextbooksCitizenshipIdeologyDR438.94 .G87 1998History--Study and teaching--Turkey.Thesis
