Although Turkey is a secular state, it is often characterised as a
Muslim country. In her latest book, Lejla Voloder provides an
engaging and revealing study of a Bosniak community in Turkey, one
of the Muslim minorities actually recognised by the state in
Turkey. Under what circumstances have they resettled to Turkey? How
do they embrace Islam? How does one live as a Bosniak, a Turkish
citizen, a mother, a father, a member of a household, and as one
guided by Islam? The first book based on fieldwork to detail the
lives of members of the Bosnian and Bosniak diaspora in Turkey, A
Muslim Minority in Turkey makes a unique contribution to the study
of Muslim minority groups in Turkey and the Middle East.
