My feature on Turkey’s recent turmoil appears in the current issue of The Walrus. You can read the entire text online here. Also check out Carolyn Drake’s accompanying photo essay on Hasankeyf, an historic, predominantly Kurdish town in Turkey’s southeast potentially living out its last days. The entire area is slated to be flooded when a dam on the Tigris River finally gets a green light. It’s possible, but not likely, Hasankeyf will be spared; foreign credit agencies who previously pledged monies for the dam are now reconsidering in light of growing resistance and protest in Europe. (That’s Carolyn’s image above.)

I also have a brief piece in Azure magazine, about Vladimir Arkhipov’s “Archive of material folklore”. This from my most recent trip to Russia. More about Vladimir another time.
