ECMI Library
The ECMI Library is an independent collection of books, journals, and grey literature of more than 3,000 items covering many aspects of minority issues. The highly specialized collection offers public access to a variety of materials in more than twenty languages on interethnic relations, language and cultural diversity issues and ethnic conflict in Europe.
The Library includes a useful reference section and a considerable number of published and unpublished reports, and is especially strong in the area of minority protection with regards to international law. The ECMI Library is also unique in that it includes an ever-growing number of annual reports of Ombudsman offices around the world, which provide insight into the human rights situation in many countries. Current periodical and newspaper subscriptions reflect the multidisciplinary nature of ECMI research, and reference services are provided both in-house and for the general public.

| Description | This region of north-eastern Turkey was part of 'Lazistan', a former Ottomoman sub-province extending from the eastern Black Sea into lands that now lie deep inside the Georgian Republic. The social life of this region today offers rich possibilities for anthropological analysis. Most people acknowledge some form of identity as Lazi and many speak Lazuri, a language that is related to Georgian, not Turkish. However, religion appears even more significant than ethnicity. Like the other groups of this region, most Lazi are strongly committed to Islam, but critical of recent fundamental trends. Recent developments are examined in the context of more general changes in turkish civil society and widespread doubts about the continued viability of the secular institutions of Ataturk's republic. The volume, based on field work between 1983 and 1999, makes a significant contribution to the anthropological literature on Turkey and the wider Middle Eastern and Black Sea regions. It will also appeal to Turkish specialists in other disciplines ant to all those interested in current debates in the social sciences about identity, ethnicity and globalization. |
