Ece Temelkuran
This is by way of a book review. Above is a screenshot from a talk by Turkish journalist, author, and campaigner Ece Temelkuran.
On 31 May 2019 she gave the talk in the Washington DC bookstore "Politics and Prose" about her latest book - 'How to Lose a Country'. Ece Temelkuran sounds a passionate warning about current similarities between populist and anti-democratic forces and authoritarian leaders and parties in many countries.
Including - let's be frank - in the UK.
As she says about Turkey: "Our dreams have been wrecked. Or our realities even, have been wrecked by this political insanity that is occurring.
... I wrote this book for Americans and for European people not to lose the time that we did, in Turkey.
... I hope you do a better job."
► A thoughtful review from the Irish Times.
