Abstract

Sabri Sayari's review of my book The Kurds and the Future of Turkey concludes that “despite some … merits,” my book “fails to make a significant contribution to the existing scholarship and knowledge about an important and complex issue.” Given some of the criticisms he has made to arrive at his conclusion, one might instead conclude that my book fails to make the contribution Sayari, the executive director of the Institute of Turkish Studies, would have liked it to make. Because my subject concerns an increasingly important issue, I believe it would serve a useful scholarly purpose for me to reply to his criticisms.
