History and profile

Yurt ve Dünya was started by Adnan Cemgil and Niyazi Berkes as a monthly in Ankara in 1941,[1][2] and its first issue appeared in January that year.[3] Its directors included Adnan Cemgil, Pertev Naili Boratav and Behice Boran.[4] The founding editor-in-chief of Yurt ve Dünya was Behice Boran.[1] The magazine focused on sociological analyses of the rural society following the views of Turkish sociologist Ziya Gökalp and French sociologist Pierre Guillaume Frédéric le Play.[4] One of the contributors to articles about rural sociology was Mediha Esenel.[1][5] Total number of the contributors of Yurt ve Dünya in the first period was nearly sixty-seven. It also featured poems and short stories.[6] The magazine was banned by the Turkish authorities in March 1944[3] without any legal process due to its alleged leftist leaning.[7] It produced a total of forty-two issues during its lifetime.[6]

In 1977 Yurt ve Dünya was restarted in Istanbul under the ownership of Behice Boran and was affiliated with Workers' Party of Turkey.[8] It folded in March 1980 after producing 20 issues.[8]

Some issues of the magazine are archived by TUSTAV.[2]
