Reviews

'As no one with a serious interest in modern Turkey can afford to ignore the Alevi, this book, with its numerous illustrations, some in colour, will become essential reading. Its penetrating insights into a vibrant community facing profound challenges will help the reader understand what underpins the lives of millions of Alevis.' - J.D. Norton, British Journal of Middle Eastern Studies
