Between Modernity and Nationalism: Halide Edip's Encounter with Gandhi's India [ electronic resource ] / by Mushirul Hasan. - Oxford Scholarship Online , 2012
Halide Edip (1884–1964) once observed that Turkey is an ideal cross-section of the human world. Her own life was no less eclectic. A prolific novelist, teacher, erudite scholar, and political activist, Edip preserved her objectivity throughout her odyssey on the left-of-centre. Building on Edip’s connections with the Indian national movement and Mahatma Gandhi, this volume analyses her description of India and its bearing on her life. It explores several aspects of Edip’s career in India including the questions she confronts on gender, modernity, freedom movement, Gandhian movement, participation of women in the freedom struggle, religion and politics, and everyday life. At another level, the volume identifies common currents of history and experience between India and Turkey. It explores a number of issues of tremendous significance for the histories of liberation struggles and nation building in the Third World in general and Muslim/Islamic world in particular.
