title = "Moving populations: the foundations of diaspora in the early Republic of Turkey",
abstract = "The 19th century in Europe has been dubbed the age of revolution. Its 20th century can be consequentially analysed as a post-revolutionary age of forced population movements. Turkey has not been immune from such processes. Indeed, it has been a place of massive population dislocation, given its intense engagement for more than a century with revolutionary politics. This chapter investigates three core issues to understand these forced population movements in the Republic of Turkey: (1) the foundational political practices of the Kemalist social movement-state; (2) the core processes of population displacement initiated by the revolutionary politics of this government; and (3) the social responses and resistances that live on in the activities and discourses of Turkey{\textquoteright}s diasporas today. It concludes that contemporary Turkey lives in a mood of paranoia – a paranoia in which revolutionary governments of different types exist in constant fear of those they have made into non-citizens.",
