Drei schicksalhafte Geschichten aus dem Alltag, deren Protagonisten sich dem ihnen auferlegten Los nicht entziehen können. In Deryas Kismet nehmen die Ereignisse ihren Lauf, als es eines Tages heftig blitzt und donnert. Derya hat panische Angst und wirft sich in die Arme ihres Nachbarn. In Hasans Kismet wird Hasan vor Herausforderungen gestellt, als seine Eltern sterben und er für sich selbst sorgen muss. In Ardas Kismet wird Arda aus seinem Leben gerissen, als er in einem Bus für einen kurzen Augenblick die Frau aus seinen Träumen zu sehen meint und sie sogleich wieder aus seinem Blick verliert.
Seven Houses
"An exotic and beautiful story" (Isabel Allende) chronicling the lives of four generations of remarkable women, sweeping readers from the last days of the Ottoman monarchy to Turkey's transformation into a republic and the present day backlash. "A highly imaginitive family saga...Croutier's measured prose is artistic and sensuous" (San Francisco Chronicle) as the story of a silkmaking family iss told through the houses they occupied. From a grand villa in Smyrna in the early twentieth century to a silk plantation in the foothills of Mount Olympus, from a tiny house in a sleepy town to an apartment in a modern urban high-rise, the family's dwellings reflect its fortune's rise and fall. As communal baths and odalisques give way to movies and cell phones, four unique yet powerfully linked women experience all of life's hardships and pleasures.
Afsanah
Afsanah is a love story. It is a romantic book of poems that portrays Ishq in an extraordinary fashion. A concept of devotion is considered divine in certain cultures as love is sacred and spiritual. In this second volume of verse, Esma Ashraf shares poetic insight into her heart, journey through life, and perspectives of the world around her. Ashraf’s extraordinary titles of the poems, shared in Arabic, Persian, Turkish, Urdu and English languages, explore a variety of themes and emotions that includes the power of words, sacred love, a veil that masks fantasies, a rippling wave of pleasure, dungeons in the mind, and much more. “... An inspiring collection of poems that celebrates powerful emotions in their ever-evolving forms of everyday challenges of life.” —Mirza Iqbal Ashraf, (Retired Professor and Author)
No Sex in the City
It is a truth universally acknowledged . . . Esma is a modern Muslim woman with an age-old dilemma. She is well-educated, well-travelled and has excellent taste in music, but the hunt for Mr Right leads her to a number of Mr Wrongs. Together with wild-haired Ruby, principled Lisa, and drop-dead gorgeous Nirvana, Esma forms the No Sex in the City Club. Her quest for The One (or Mr Almost-Perfect) was never going to be easy, but soon enough it takes an unexpected and thrilling detour.

Mahallenin Kısmeti
Ama yedi yaşındaki oğlu Cengiz, – Anne be!.. dedi, babamdı vallahi. Babam bugün dükkâna gitmedi ki... Bilâl Amcanın kahvesindeydi... Çocuk lafını tamamlayamadan bir çığlık koptu. Esma, Cengiz’in kaba etine bir çimdik basmış, – Yumurcak... Sus... diye haykırmıştı. Kocasının kocaman Karadenizli burnunu duvarın köşesinden o da görmüştü. Ama konu komşunun yanında iki paralık olmak istemiyordu. Başını pencereden içeri çekip, – Etinden et koparılmış gibi bağırma domuz, şimdi alırım ayağımın altına!.. diye çocuğa bağırdı. "Şimdi ayağının altına almak” sık sık kocasının kullandığı, Esma’nın da ondan öğrendiği laftı. Kadınlar başlarını pencerelerden içeri çektiler. Artık dedikodu dört duvar arasında kahve değirmeninin sesine, kundaktaki çocukların viyaklamasına karışıyordu.
Otherness and the Media
This anthology on otherness and the media, first published in 1993, was prompted by the proliferation of writings centring on issues of ‘difference’, ‘diversity’, ‘multiculturalism’, ‘representation’ and ‘postcolonial’ discourses. Such issues and discourses question existing canons of criticism, theory and cultural practice but also because they suggest a new sense of direction in theorisation of difference and representation.
Routledge Library Editions: Cultural Studies
This seven volume set reissues a collection of out-of-print titles covering a range of responses to modern culture. They include in-depth analyses of US and Australian popular culture, works on the media and television, macrosociology, and the media and ‘otherness’. Taken together, they provide stimulating and thought-provoking debate on a wide range of topics central to many of today’s cultural controversies.
