Summary/Abstract: The paper gives an account of the sources of racist and nationalist attitudes in Turkey. The author explores some of the crucial historical, social, cultural and intellectual resources to provide the argument that racism is a phenomenon that is embedded in cultural rather than natural (biological) human condition and context. The analysis of racism seems to be a part of the critique of pre-capitalist as well as capitalist social relations.
