Özet |
In this research we will try to understand the change of an Afro-American boxer Cassius Clay to the" global icon" Muhammad Ali. He not only changes the fate of himself by rejecting Christianity and joining the army service against Vietnam, he also became an icon for the Third World countries and especially in the Middle East and Africa where his ancestors came from. His change also gave him popularity in Turkey as a developing country. By converting and embracing Islam, he also rejected the White-Anglosaxon American lifestyle and his boxing matches became meaningful for the other Muslim and African countries and the rings became" political pulpits". Our aim is to tell the change of Cassius to Ali and his effect over the Turkish audience. Alongwith the literature review method, this research aims a descriptive study. In order to understand the structure we used the Turkish newspapers, testimonies, and the folk songs dedicated to Muhammad Ali in Turkey. |
