“Ece Temelkuran is a brilliant thinker, and her work here is as conceptually illuminating as it is beautifully written ... In this time of rampant fascism, …Nation of Strangers is both a call and a comfort, a book that made me feel so much less alone” Omar El Akkad

If you need to listen something calm and thoughtful, here’s @fieldzine.bsky.social podcast with me. Many thanks to #SamField for being who he is. open.spotify.com/episode/6w8O... #HowToLoseACountry #Together via @canongate.co.uk

:)

Can’t recommend this book by @ecetemelkuran.bsky.social highly enough.

It was a special #howtoloseacountry night at #KilnTheater in #London . We cried, laughed and most importantly felt not so alone anymore. Many thanks to everyone who was there and special thanks to the brilliant #intelligencesquared and @canongate team.

"Where there is no social justice, democracy is just a theatrical act." ~Ece Temelkuran

Ece Temelkuran is schrijfster en journaliste. Na de mislukte staatsgreep in 2014 verliet ze Turkije en keerde niet meer terug. In 'Verloren land' omschrijft ze hoe een democratie in zeven stappen tot een dictatuur omgevormd werd.

See you on Thusday in #London at #intelligencesquared with #cocokhan It is a good time to talk about Fascism and how we are going to stand against it. No? www.intelligencesquared.com/events/how-t...

"Today it is being organised and mobilised by the wide grin of the new fascism and is spreading across the globe." If you want to understand what Ece Temelkuran means by the Radical-male, I urge all to read her important book: Together. 10 Choices for a Better Now. share.google/1TUVZ6j742yy...

I've read a lot of commentary about this harangue, but alarming for most women is the blatant misogyny, not just a hatred of "woke" - this is the backlash of the patriarchy on full display, what journalist Ece Temelkuran calls the rise of the Radical Male. share.google/01IJBBdkP3O8...

Reading Together by @ecetemelkuran.bsky.social I'm struck by this bit- about how even in accepting refugees people would rather see a thing to help than a whole person with a life and who might be able to help others... thread coming... I've put the transcript in the alt text

1. 🧵"They have the courage to do this because of the hypocrisy of the Western establishment." @faisalalyafai.bsky.social recalls his conversation with @ecetemelkuran.bsky.social on how authoritarians have been emboldened by Western failures. newlinesmag.com/podcast/chin...

Absolute joy and privilege to chair a further two discussion at the Edinburgh Book Festival. The first with Ece Temelkuran, journalist and author of “How to Lose a Country” and “Together” on the rise of fascism and how we fight it. She was brilliant, unapologetic, and wise. Please read her books!

👇👇

Brilliant talk today by @ecetemelkuran.bsky.social at @lighthousebks.bsky.social A thread! So, firstly, her editors wimped out of her prefered subtitle - How to Lose a Country should be the 7 steps from democracy to fascism, not dictatorship. I have amended my copy...

#Together against the rise of global fascism!

See you next week in #Edinburg at @edbookfest.bsky.social

Together is out in #Canada What to do and how to BE against Fascism. A proposal for a deep moral transformation to defeat the political evil. The sequel to How To Lose A Country. Published by @simonandschuster.bsky.social

Beautiful question 🙏 1/2 Reading @ecetemelkuran.bsky.social Her 2025 preface to ‘Together’ is a manifesto for love against a heartless world.

Book Fringe Round up! There's a lot of noise & creative chaos in Edinburgh during the festivals, so the latest newsletter has a wee recap of Book Fringe delights incl: @ecetemelkuran.bsky.social Rosie Day Randa Jarrar Daniel Harding @vashtiharrison.bsky.social & more! 👇 tinyurl.com/mtuea5fk

“The vast land you thought you belonged to does not shrink down to a table overnight. It takes years. You may assume that the cause of this shrinking is oppression and the fear it generates. But in fact it does not begin at the moment a clown takes over the presidency” @ecetemelkuran.bsky.social

What is a country, and what does it mean to claim ownership of it, or dismiss it altogether? Writer Ece Temelkuran explores how merely muttering “this is not my country anymore” transforms not just the individual who says it but also their country. thewalrus.ca/this-is-not-my-c...

Delighted that I’ll be at @lighthousebks.bsky.social to talk about Together: A Manifesto Against A Heartless World. Come and we talk about how we stay humane in these inhumane times. 20th of August. @canongate.co.uk

"The country expands in its finest hour and shrinks on its darkest day." I'm incredibly proud of the phenomenal work and clear-eyed analysis our team has been publishing lately. It's an honour fundraising to sustain this work. Brilliant piece by @ecetemelkuran.bsky.social

@ecetemelkuran.bsky.social Thank you for reposting, ( and your work!) I quoted you to close my article - a taxonomical examination of the Trump administration against the academic definitions of Fascism. Just to be a comprehensive resource making the case. open.substack.com/pub/morewret...

Ece Temelkuran - Her publishers were uneasy about using Fascism in a book title so insisted on Dictatorship, but she has insisted for future editions they switch to Fascism, and is vocally making the case we need to call it out.

Those who delude themselves into thinking that power still requires democracy and rationality are playing a role that has become meaningless. Recognizing this is the first step toward regaining the ability to act. My monthly @elmundo.es.web.brid.gy article in Italian via @internazionale.it

Chi si illude che il potere abbia ancora bisogno della democrazia e di razionalità recita un ruolo ormai privo di senso. Riconoscerlo è il primo passo per ritrovare la capacità di agire. L'opinione di Ece Temelkuran.

My choice of non-fiction this month is Ece Temelkuran, a Turkish author/journalist who I’ve read in the past. She has a lovely way with words so I expect this will be a good read #booksky #pukapuka 💙📚🇳🇿

And here is a conversation on the tech-industrial complex with Turkish journalist @ecetemelkuran.bsky.social and Dutch author and Director of international policy at Stanford’s Cyber Policy Center @marietjeschaake.bsky.social:

See you in Debaile - Amsterdam on the 27th of June

I just finished reading “How To Lose A Country” by @ecetemelkuran.bsky.social Well worth reading even though we (USA) are already several steps along the way to losing the US as we have known it. And because we are. #authoritarianism #democracy

See you in #Vienna

8/8 I first read Ece Temelkuran after her Guardian piece post-election last November. I found it interesting then, and now it’s clear, she was prescient. 📰 www.theguardian.com/books/2024/n...
