Product description

Village is a memoir that describes a life shaped by the vibrant oral traditions and common living rhythms of a remote village in anatolia. In this geography where written records are rare, history continues to be lived through vivid stories about resilience, kinship, and wisdom passed down from generation to generation.

born in 1949 during a local festival, fikri grew up in a very multi-cultural and lively home. These early years, kneaded with both joy and hardship, lived in harmony with nature, within a simple life, and laid the foundation for a life loaded with meaning through memory. Fikri, a naturally curious child,'s educational journey spanned from the village primary school to middle school in gürün, then to high school in sivas, and finally to university in istanbul.

finally, he obtained a doctorate from stanford university, broadening his horizons both intellectually and personally. For decades, fikri collected both personal memories and the collective history of the village through historical sources, including audio recordings, photographs, and a 1550 ottoman tax book. The story is also a critique of systematic neglect towards rural communities during the period spanning from the ottoman empire to the republic

instead, the resistance and self-sufficiency developed by the villagers are highlighted. Fikri, who reclaimed the once demeaning term as a badge of honor and identity, shows that he never lost his connection to his roots as he tells the story of his journey from the village of lower sazcığaz to cape cod, massachusetts. Village, which blends personal narrative with cultural critique, is a textured and impressionistic memoir spanning seventy-five years—written with profound respect for the enduring spirit of origin, memory, and village life. Fikri's international career enriched her identity by moving her between cultures and continents. Today, fikri, who lives on the cape cod coast, is a living embodiment of a life woven with resilience, curiosity, and enduring cross-cultural bonds.
