Paperback. 8vo. In English and Turkish. 352 p., ills. A city that remembers: Space and memory from Taksim to Sultanahmet.= Hatirlayan Sehir: Taksim'den Sultanahmet'e mekân ve hafiza. "The publication offers its readers an opportunity to get acquainted with Istanbul - whether they be its resident or a tourist, as it presents the suppressed histories of the Ottoman era and Republican Turkey by looking at Istanbul from the lens of a tour guide. The places we pass by or visit on a daily basis are, inevitably, places with certain histories. These are mostly histories of appropriation and violation, injustice and power, but at times also histories of struggle. A City That Remembers sheds light on this rather 'unofficial' version of Istanbul's history through a total of 17 spaces, squares and buildings.".
