AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This is a study of the mid-twentieth century history and economic development of a county town in southwestern Turkey. The author discusses the changing social and political structure of the town and its hinterland following the introduction of cash crops, credit, highways, import of ready-made commodities, and the rise of political parties. Once a regional center based on local elites, markets, educational institutions and government offices, the town of Ula's importance has diminished since the 1950s. It no longer occupies a central role in the flow of goods and services and losing youth to larger urban centers.
