Alevis in Europe
The Alevis are a significant minority in Turkey, and now also in the countries of Western Europe. Over the past century, many of them have migrated from rural enclaves on the Anatolian plateau to the great cities of Istanbul and Ankara, and from there to the countries of the European Union. This book asks who are they? How do they construct their identities – now and in the past; in Turkey and in Europe? A range of scholars, writing from sociological, historical, socio-psychological and political perspectives, present analysis and research that shows the Alevi communities grouping and regrouping, defining and redefining – sometimes as an ethnic minority, sometimes as religious groups, so...
Canların Cinsiyeti: Alevilik ve Kadın
“Bizim erkeklerimize göre kadın dediğin evde oturur, işini yapar, gücüne bakar, bir yere gitmez... Alevilerde kadın-erkek eşittir yok. Onlar sözde... Çoğu [kadın] ceme giderken bile eşinden izin alıp gidiyor.” “Çok fena küsüyorum, kararıyorum o insanlara... Mal mülk için ‘O kız, bu oğlan,’ diyorlar; ‘Kız ele gidiyor, alıyor götürüyor malı,’ diyorlar. Kızı ‘el’ görüyorlar.” “Babam ‘Sünni olmasın, isterse köyümün en kötüsü olsun; yeter ki kızım dışarı gitmesin,’ derdi; dediği de oldu.” Alevilik, kadın-erkek eşitliğine yaptığı vurguyla zaman içinde zihinlerde belli bir yer edindi, ancak bu eşitlik iddiasının ger...
The Changing Leadership Roles of »Dedes« in the Alevi Movement
What is the function of clerical leadership in Alevism based on sociocultural and political understandings? To answer that complex question, Deniz Cosan Eke examines the political, cultural, and religious debates surrounding Alevis and the Alevi movement in relation to the ideas and claims of the Turkish state, Alevi communities in Turkey, and migrant Alevi communities in Germany. The book, which focuses on the emergence of collective emotions in religious rituals, the struggle of religious groups in migration processes, and the leadership role of clergy in social movements, is of great interest to a wide readership.

Edebiyatta Siyaset: Vedat Türkali Örneği
Uzun zaman sonra kendime zaman ayırıp bir kitap yazmaya karar verdiğimde, bu zorlu ve uzun süreç için, keyif alabileceğim bir konu seçmem gerektiğini biliyordum. Bu anlamda, siyaseti, en sevdiğim diğer iki diğer alandan biri, edebiyat ya da medya çalışmaları ile birleştirebileceğimi düşündüm. Ya Türkiye Siyasetini romanları üzerinden okuyup değerlendirebileceğim, siyasi olarak angaje bir yazar seçecektim, ya da belirli bir zaman dilimine ve konuya odaklanan bir basın taraması yapmaya koyulacaktım. Basın taraması odaklı iki makaleyi yeni bitirmiş olmanın verdiği duygu durumuyla, siyasetin edebiyattaki yansımasını çalışmaktan daha mutlu olacağımı anladım. Aklıma düşen yazarlar arasında Vedat Türkali, eser sayısının ve ele aldığı siyasi unsurların çokluğu, tanınırlığı ve de bana, daha önceden yakından incelememiş olduğum bir siyasi perspektifi sunacak olması nedeniyle, en uygun seçenek olarak göründü.
Turkey's Alevi Enigma
This volume, written by specialists, be they political scientists, historians or anthropologists, is a convenient handbook on the origins and history of Turkey's Alevis - an important group that is largely unknown in the West. It examined their ethnic identity, cultural representation, political life, and relations with the Turkish State, The Turkish Left and the Kurdish National Movement.
The Alevis in Turkey
The example of the Alevis of Turkey is used to contribute to debates over the role of Islam in the modern world. It is argued there is nothing inherently secular-proof within Islam, but belief depends on the wider social and religious context.
Writing Religion
Markus Dressler tells the story of how a number of marginalized socioreligious communities, traditionally and derogatorily referred to as Kizilbas (''Redhead''), captured the attention of the late Ottoman and early Republican Turkish nationalists and were gradually integrated into the newly formulated identity of secular Turkish nationalists.
Alevi Identity
Alawites; cultural, religious and social perspectives.
Islamic Spirituality
Islamic Spirituality: Theology and Practice for the Modern World examines and explores the inner dimension of Islam. The writings of important figures in the historical development of Islamic spirituality are examined, as well as the major sources of religious authority in Islam, the Qur'an and Hadith. Both classical Sufis and Sufism are explored as well as contemporary mystics. Key figures discussed include medieval Islamic theologian al-Ghazali (d.1111), and Said Nursi (d.1960), arguably one of the most important modern theologians in the Islamic spiritual tradition. Discussing both historical and contemporary dimensions of Islamic spirituality allows the author to ground classical Sufi te...
