This book explores the life and ideas of the eminent liberal journalist Ahmed Emin (Yalman)'s changing perceptions of the "other"
in the Armistice Period (1918-1923) and beyond. Throughout the work Ahmed Emin's perception of non-Muslim Ottomans nonTurkish
Muslims and the Western powers as well as these perceptionsthe changes in are all analyzed through both qualitative and
quantitative methods and based on content analysis. In addition to his editorials published in the two newspapers Vakit and Vatan in
Istanbul during the Armistice Period his narration and reconstruction of the past events in his memoirs (one of which was composed
in English) are also included in the comparative analysis. The work shows that along with the continuous elements in his writings
such as his almost unchanging liberal-Westernist ideology Ahmed Emin's opinions were subject to change in accordance with
changes on the ground and shifts in power configurations
