Struggling for Recognition
As a religious and cultural minority in Turkey, the Alevis have suffered a long history of persecution and discrimination. In the late 1980s they started a movement for the recognition of Alevi identity in both Germany and Turkey. Today, they constitute a significant segment of Germany’s Turkish immigrant population. In a departure from the current debate on identity and diaspora, Sökefeld offers a rich account of the emergence and institutionalization of the Alevi movement in Germany, giving particular attention to its politics of recognition within Germany and in a transnational context. The book deftly combines empirical findings with innovative theoretical arguments and addresses current questions of migration, diaspora, transnationalism, and identity.
Diaspora, Identity and Religion
Over the last decade, concepts of diaspora and locality have gained complex new meanings in political discourse as well as in social and cultural studies. Diaspora, in particular, has acquired new meanings related to notions such as global deterritorialization, transnational migration and cultural hybridity. The authors discuss the key concepts and theory, focus on the meaning of religion both as a factor in forming diasporic social organisations, as well as shaping and maintaining diasporic identities, and the appropriation of space and place in history. It includes up to date research of the Caribbean, Irish, Armenian, African and Greek diasporas.
Minorities and Nationalism in Turkish Law
Examining the on-going dilemma of the management of diversity in Turkey from a historical and legal perspective, this book argues that the state’s failure to accommodate ethno-religious diversity is attributable to the founding philosophy of Turkish nationalism and its heavy penetration into the socio-political and legal fibre of the country. It examines the articulation and influence of the founding principle in law and in the higher courts’ jurisprudence in relation to the concepts of nation, citizenship, and minorities. In so doing, it adopts a sceptical approach to the claim that Turkey has a civic nationalist state, not least on the grounds that the legal system is generously litter...
Geçmişten Günümüze Dinsel Katliamlar
“İlk halife olan Ebu Bekir, Hz. Muhammed’den kızı Fatma’ya miras kalan Fedek Hurmalığını elinden almak için Ömer’i görevlendirdi. Fatma’nın evine baskın yapan Ömer, Fatma’yı darp etti, karnındaki bebeği öldürdü. Babasından 6 ay sonra da Fatma, aldığı darbeler sonucu vefat etti... Mülcem, Hz. Ali’yi zehirli hançerle katletti. Muaviye, kendisine rakip gördüğü Hz. Hasan’ı karısı Cude’ye zehirleterek katlettirdi. Yezit, Hz. Hüseyin’i 72 sahabesiyle beraber Kerbela çölünde susuz şehit etti. 750 yılına dek devam eden Emevi hükümranlığı ve sonrasında Hz. Muhammed’in soyunu sürdüren 12 İmamlar katledildi.

THE AGONY OF THE KEMALIST REPUBLIC AND THE RISE OF A FASCIST BROTHERHOOD
The Agony of the Kemalist Republic and the Rise of a Fascist-Naqshibendi Brotherhood presents, in vivid terms, the slow undoing of all the reforms introduced by the immortal Kemal Atatürk, founder of modern Turkish Republic. Today Turkey is facing a most daunting challenge mounted by a corrupt religious party usurping the police powers at its disposal and aiming to reverse the course of the past eighty years. A sham democracy cannot solve Turkey’s critical problems: in the east, a tribal and feudal society within which abject poverty reigns and in the west, powerful conglomerates with international partnerships dominate the business world. Everywhere an army of unemployed, young and old, is hoping for better days . . . Against great odds, the fight for secular education, for full employment, for women empowerment, and for social justice has to go on.
Islam and Muslims in Germany
In the European discourse of post 9/11 reality, concepts such as a oeMulticulturalisma, a oeIntegrationa and a oeEuropean Islama are becoming more and more topical. The empirically- based contributions in this volume aim to reflect the variety of current Muslim social practices and life-worlds in Germany. The volume goes beyond the fragmented methods of minority case studies and the monolithic view of Muslims as portrayed by mass media to present fresh theoretical approaches and in-depth analyses of a rich mosaic of communities, cultures and social practices. Issues of politics, religion, society, economics, media, art, literature, law and gender are addressed. The result is a vibrant state-of-the-art publication of studies of real-life communities and individuals.
