Description of the "rural uplift" of the Turkish village of Hasanoglan, due in part to the establishing, in 1943, of the Institute of Hasanoglan, a teacher's training college at which the author was an instructor of sociology. The study was originally written in 1944, before the Institute was closed in the wake of attacks made by the conservative Republican People's Party as well as the liberal Democratic Party. (For more information see "The Encyclopedia of Islam," Vol. V, p. 282.).
