1. For a sophisticated book that is informed by these debates and provides an elegant analysis that moves beyond them, see Çaǧlar Keyder (1987).
2. The work of Mübeccel Kiray (1970), one of the foremost Turkish sociologists, must be cited as an important landmark and the precursor of a new genre of comparative research on the complexities of agrarian change in Turkey.
3. The towering figure of Serif Mardin, the sole representative of a more hermeneutic tradition in Turkish sociology, remains the notable exception. New editions of his voluminous scholarship on questions of culture and Islam in Turkish society, published in the 1990s, have made his work accessible to a broader reading public, and become contemporary classics. His recent book (Mardin 1989) as well as numerous articles are available in English.
