This is the only volume dedicated to the Alevis available in
English and based on sustained fieldwork in Turkey. The Alevis now
have an increasingly high profile for those interested in the
diverse cultures of contemporary Turkey, and in the role of Islam
in the modern world. As a heterodox Islamic group, the Alevis have
no established doctrine. This book reveals that as the Alevi move
from rural to urban sites, they grow increasingly secular, and
their religious life becomes more a guiding moral culture than a
religious message to be followed literally. But the study shows
that there is nothing inherently secular-proof within Islam, and
that belief depends upon a range of contexts.
