  • "Yucel Yanikdag explores how, during the Great War, Ottoman prisoners of war and military doctors discursively constructed their nation as a community, and at the same time attempted to exclude certain groups from that nation. Those excluded were not always the ethnic or religious Other as might be expected. They frequently included the internal Other in different guises. While the educated officer prisoners excluded the uncivilized and illiterate peasant from their concept of the nation, doctors used international socio-medicine as the basis for excluding all those - officers, enlisted men, civilians - they deemed to be hereditarily weak. Through the course of this study, Yanikdag looks at broader questions of nationhood. When are nations constructed? Is it when groups of people begin to think of themselves as a nation? What roles do science and medicine, as 'rational' fields of inquiry, play in shaping national and cultural identities? What role does Otherness play in the construction of national community?"--Publisher's website."
