It's time for us to return to the Reform Factory for the second half of the key Kemalist reforms during the early Republic in Turkey. We learn about some of the issues that faced the early nationalist project of the Kemalists, which included abysmally low literacy rates (though there is some dispute around that), a lack of confidence in the national identity which led to weird things like trying to replace literally every loanword in the language and how they confronted some of these problems by collaborating with the acceptable face of the far-right in early Republican Turkey. We also engage in a lot of chaos since our guest apparently brought the habits of his own podcast to us, such a good guest, bringing us a gift! We run right up to 1938, which is an important date for reasons we'll get into in a few episodes.
Our intro music is by our good friend Jordan who is a fellow member of ALE, which you should all check out!
