ABSTRACT
Ironically being a Turk, Arif Dirlik is one of the least known theoreticians in Turkey. This is due to his immigration to the United States at a very young age and produces all his works in English on China and Modernity as well as his theoretical framework is not well accepted in Turkish among Turkish social scientists. So it is a very important duty to translate Dirlik’s works into Turkish for young scholars to be well informed about a very important figure in history and modernity literature.
