After more than two years what has remained of the Gezi Park protests? Is Gezi`s critique of
political power still valid? What has changed after Gezi? These valid questions linger not
properly answered not yet properly discussed. Perhaps Gezi`s enduring effects and legacy can
be discovered in the resistances dissents and practices of political critique that have been
created since June 2013. In this book fourteen authors discuss and elaborate on such questions
from both political and quotidian perspectives. Critique of the power of the multitude the
anthropology and ethnography of resistance the causes effects and continuity of the Gezi Park
protests are among the issues covered in Another Brick in the Barricade: The Gezi Resistance
and Its Aftermath. This book does not offer all-explaining narratives of singular objective
truths. It does not represent the whole of the multitude. A wide perspective of analyses
ranging from political science to sociology psychology to anthropology economic to media
studies consider Gezi resistance not only as an exceptional state of resistance but also in
terms of the new possibilities it offers for political critique. These possibilities constitute
the fieldwork for academic studies which in turn become part of social struggle. This volume
seeks to make diversity its distinguishing aspect. The phenomena it considers - Gezi and its
aftermath - requires this. The interdisciplinary approach and variety of discussions in the
volume provide not just critique about power and dominance in Turkey but also inspire
resistance against domination and power around the world.
