The Kizilbash were at once key players in and the foremost victims
of the Ottoman-Safavid conflict that defined the early modern
Middle East. Today referred to as Alevis, they constitute the
second largest faith community in modern Turkey, with smaller
pockets of related groups in the Balkans. Yet several aspects of
their history remain little understood or explored. This first
comprehensive socio-political history of the Kizilbash/Alevi
communities uses a recently surfaced corpus of sources generated
within their milieu. It offers fresh answers to many questions
concerning their origins and evolution from a revolutionary
movement to an inward-looking religious order.
