| Summary/Abstract |
This article examines the impacts that the embrace of diversity talk has had on identity and ethnic politics in Turkey that has evolved toward a relative and selective recognition. Based on the analysis of the cases of the Laze and Kurdish movements, the article argues that the politics of recognition are built conjointly by an array of actors, at different levels, with different aims, and through their very practices and interactions. The article shows that, although the embrace of diversity talk may mark a depolitization of the ethnonational claims, it still gives room to forms of resistance. These dynamics have shaped a noncoherent, multilayered recognition that does not allow the building of a common ground in the country but rather of a battlefield around discursive and policies choices.

| Summary/Abstract |
Many concepts and notions have been used to deal with the social and political fact of difference, and diversity is the last on the list, as stated by Avana Lentin and Gavan Titley. It has been described by many as vague, ubiquitous and malleable, ambiguous, or else multifaceted. Most of the authors who have dealt critically with the topic have stressed the plasticity and ubiquity of diversity, considered at times as discourse, at others as practice or policy, and sometimes as both. But among these authors, there are numerous who have depicted the genealogy or the invention of diversity—therefore, breaking the vicious circle of the vision of a vague and ungraspable diversity.
