Reviews
Mainstreaming the Headscarf is a theoretically engaging book rich with in-depth examples and analyses of Turkish media and proposing new ways to break right-wing conservative hegemonic media rule by authoritarian governments. Ozcan does this by carefully avoiding binaries like secular versus Islamist in her discussion throughout the book. It is a rich book, which advocates new methods to counter hate media by AKP government through first-hand personal insights and anecdotes while making theoretically rich propositions. -- Murat Akser, European Journal of Communication Özcan’s observation about the closing of the coalitional space in the women’s movement begs many productive questions for future research. * European Journal of Women’s Studies *
