Abstract :Yön, a leftist-nationalist journal, captured the image of Turkey`s growing and restless youth in the 1960s more than any other journal/magazine. It was the first attempt to formulate a nationalist leftist ideology by interpreting Kemalism. As a politically Kemalist and ideologically socialist journal, Yön has very much shaped the political culture of Turkey from that period on to the present. Yön has been a political and intellectual platform in which some essential concepts for Turkish politics like Kemalism, socialism, etatism, populism, nationalism, development and democracy has been reformulated in line with its founding fathers` Jacobean understandings of politics and society. This article mainly seeks to examine the journal`s founding fathers, raison d`etre, main topics and political aims. In this article, the author attempts to criticize Yön journal`s perception of development and ideology of modernization, especially in terms of their connection with the mainstream modernization views at the time.
