    Şerif Hüseyin hareketinin Türk ve Arap ulus-inşa sürecine etkileri
    (İnönü Üniversitesi Akademik Yaklaşımlar Dergisi, 2012) Çiçek, M. Talha
    The main purpose of this study will be to present an explanation for that question. As I will argue, the main motive for this exaggeration could be detected in the utilization of this event as a triggering factor during the nation-building processes of both the Turks and the Arabs. The Turks generally used the reflections of this revolt during the early Republican period in order to create a Western-modern Turkish identity. The Arabs, on the other hand, used it to defend the rights of the Arabs in line with the Wilsonian selfdetermination principle, and also to reach the aim of creating a “United Arab State” inspired by the Arab nationalist ideology. Therefore, as for the implications of this event on both sides, we can argue that the revolt has served as a legitimizing factor, both sociologically and politically in the building of the national identities of both Turks and Arabs. In order to find out how it had been used in these processes I will concentrate on the elements, which belongs to national identities of both nations. As the empirical basis of the article, high school textbooks in Turkey, Syria and Jordan will be used. As a simple example of how both sides are portrayed in these books, we can mention that the Ottomans have been described as occupiers in Arabic books, while the Arabs have been portrayed as betrayers in the Turkish ones. Comparison of the textbooks will show us how the nation-building processes of Turks and Arabs affected each other.
