Periodicals of the Muslim World
The present volume treats of the periodicals published in the Muslim world since 1800s. Periodicals published in different languages in Afghanistan, Caucasia, Central Asia, Iran, Russia and Tatarstan, the Ottoman Empire, Southeast Asia, and Turkey have been introduced. This book is part of a series of translations from the Encyclopaedia of the World of Islam (EWI) which was originally compiled in Persian. Other entries from this encyclopaedia which are available in English include Hawza-yi ‘Ilmiyya, Hadith, History and Historiography, Muslim Organisations, Political Parties, Qur’anic Exegeses, Qur’anic Exegesis, Sufism, and Education in the Islamic Civilisation.
Turkey and the Holocaust
The neutrality maintained by Turkey during most of the Second World War enabled it to rescue thousands of Jews from the Holocaust in the Nazi-occupied or collaborating countries of Europe. This book shows how in France, the Turkish consuls in Paris and Marseilles intervened to protect Turkish Jews from application of anti-Jewish laws introduced both by the German occupying authorities and the Vichy government and rescued them from concentration camps, getting them off trains destined for the extermination chambers in the East, and arranging train caravans and other special transportation to take them through Nazi-occupied territory to safety in Turkey. 'an important and unique addition to the vast scholarship available on that tragic era' Rabbi Abraham Cooper
Politics of Religious Freedom
Religious freedom has achieved broad consensus as a condition for peace. Faced with reports of a rise in religious violence and a host of other social ills, public, and private actors have responded with laws and policies designed to promote freedom of religion. But what precisely is being promoted? What are the assumptions underlying this response? The contributions to this volume unsettle the assumption that religious freedom is a singular achievement and that the problem lies in its incomplete accomplishment. Delineating the different conceptions of religious freedom predominant in the world today, as well as their histories and political contexts, the contributions make clear that the reasons for violence and discrimination are more complex than is widely acknowledged. The promotion of a single legal and cultural tool meant to address conflict across a wide variety of cultures can have the perverse effect of exacerbating the problems that plague the communities often cited as falling short. -- from back cover.
Okur Dergisi Sayı:20 / Temmuz - Ağustos 2021
20. sayımızla huzurlarınızdayız. Yenilen kapağımızda da söylediğimiz gibi “bununla 20 etti”. İlk sayıdaki heyecanla ve sizlerin samimi sahiplenmesiyle bunu sürdürdüğümüzü özellikle belirtmeliyim. Bu sayımızda kütüphanelerimizi konuşmak istedik. Salgın süreciyle beraber uzak kaldığımız kütüphaneler elbette bıraktığımız gibi durmuyor. Her şey gibi onlar da değişiyor. Yeni açılan kitap kafeler, millet kıraathaneleri, belediyelerin girişimleri kütüphanelerin işlevini ve anlamını önemli ölçüde farklılaştıracak gibi görünüyor. Kütüphaneler, araştıma yapılan ve kitaplarla buluşulan mekanlardan daha çok sosyalleşme aracına dön...
Tocqueville in the Ottoman Empire
Based on archival research, this work examines the Ottoman ancien regime. The author argues that the success of the regime was due to the articulation of a complex financial network revolving around central state elite investments and an Istanbul-based and supervised banking system.
Afghanistan's Islam
"This book provides the first ever overview of the history and development of Islam in Afghanistan. It covers every era from the conversion of Afghanistan through the medieval and early modern periods to the present day.

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.
