Introduction -- Methodology -- Studying Youth and Social Movements -- Youth in the Gezi Protests: Background, the Gezi Spirit, and Aftermath -- Studying Youth in Social Context -- The Meanings of Being Young: Potential, Limitations, Mission, and Action -- Studying Youth and Politics -- What is the Political? The Components of the New Post-Gezi Politics -- Conclusions.

This book offers an analysis of the complex and shifting conditions of being young as well as the new ways in which young people engage in politics in Turkey. It is based on a closer examination of young people's participation in the Gezi protests in 2013. From the perspective of cultural sociology, this work presents a nuanced discussion of the roots and dynamics of young people's unexpected engagement and spectacular appearance at the protests, with a theoretical focus on the concepts of youth and the political, by exploring questions such as: How did young people experience the protests? How did they reflect on being young? How did they define the political? Grounded in ethnographic field research conducted via in-depth interviews, this book demonstrates that what happened in the Gezi protests was not a sudden and miraculous transformation of apolitical youth into political subjects on the streets, as has often been argued in public discourse. Rather, the protests brought into view the changes which had already been taking place in young people's lives in Turkey as a result of the effects of both local and global processes, i.e. the influence of authoritarian politics and social change characterized by religion in everyday life, as well as the implications of neoliberal policies in the restructuring of urban spaces. The Author Dr. Pınar Gümüş Mantu works at the Institute of Sociology at Justus Liebig University Giessen, Germany.
