Hizmet
Este libro aborda un fenómeno social contemporáneo conocido como «Hizmet» o «movimiento de voluntarios». En círculos académicos se lo denomina frecuentemente como «Movimiento Gülen» por el nombre de la persona que lo inspiró, Fethullah Gülen. El Movimiento nació en Turquía en la década de los 70 del siglo pasado como una iniciativa de inspiración religiosa que se proponía mejorar las condiciones educativas en las comunidades locales; desde entonces ha crecido hasta convertirse en un movimiento educativo, intercultural e interreligioso, de carácter transnacional. Se calcula que sus miembros alcanzan ya varios millones. Hizmet ha creado y consolidado instituciones respetadas —de diversa naturaleza, pero fundamentalmente escuelas— en todos los continentes para mostrar la capacidad de un movimiento inspirado en el Islam para impulsar a un gran número de personas de conciencia religiosa y practicantes no sólo a que acepten un orden político y social laico, pluralista y democrático, sino para abrazarlo sinceramente.
