摘要：By happenstance, we found ourselves in Istanbul, Turkey in early June 2013 only days after a massanti-government protest developed in and around Gezi Park. In addition to informal discussionsand interviews with academics and others, we visited the protest site and traveled throughoutIstanbul to directly experience the atmosphere and events. We also conducted two studies ofTurks’ participation in, and views of, the protests. This paper recounts the events in Istanbulthat summer and reviews our own, and other, social science research on the protests and theprotestors. We focus on who the protestors were and why they protested, as opposed to the lessengaged actions of visiting the protests or following them in the media.
