Canberk Köktürk | Fa­scho­land

In ‘Fascholand’, Canberk Köktürk embarks on an autobiographical, investigative journey through a Germany that is frightening for more than just people with a migration background. His narrative investigation examines the state of the nation in a subjective and fast-paced manner. Hatred and agitation, a shift to the right, and racism are poisoning the country and driving it towards the abyss. Köktürk collects evidence, talks to those affected, and gathers knowledge from experts. His witty tone – drenched in biting humour – helps us understand how dangerous the situation has become: Germany presents itself as a defensive democracy but does nothing to counter the structural problems and radicalisation present in the political discourse. A fast-paced and extremely important text that is fun to read despite the gloomy diagnosis.

The book ‘Fascholand’ will be published by Ullstein Verlag on 31 July 2025.
