The collapse of the multiethnic, multireligious, and multilingual Ottoman Empire after World War I led to the establishment of several nation-states, with enormous repercussions for the empire's minority populations.

Baskin Oran focuses on religious and ethnic minorities in the Republic of Turkey - home for centuries to Alevites, Armenians, Greeks, Jews, Kurds, Syriacs, and more - to provide a comprehensive analysis encompassing the Ottoman era to the present.

Minorities and Minority Rights in Turkey is a revised and updated version of Etnik ve Dinsel Azinliklar: Tarih, Teori, Hukuk, Turkiye, published by Literatur in 2018.
