Investigates the Alevis' struggles for recognition in Turkey and
the diaspora and transformations in authority and traditional
rituals Features 14 detailed case studies provide insights into the
struggles for recognition and representation by Alevi communities
in Turkey and the diaspora under the AKP administration
Demonstrates how the struggles for recognition transform and
re-define traditions, authorities and rituals Examines how diverse
understandings of Alevi identities interplay with standardised
representations of Alevism Opens up the study of the recognition of
minorities as local, national and transnational processes This book
explores the struggles of a minority group Alevis for recognition
and representation in Turkey and the diaspora. It examines how they
mobilise against state practices and claim their rights, while at
the same time negotiating how they define themselves. The authors
offers a conceptual framework to study minorities by looking at
both structural and agency-related factors in resisting state
pressure and mobilising for their rights. The Alevis in Modern
Turkey and the Diaspora is divided into three main sections looking
into: the Turkish state and society's pressures over Alevis; how
Alevis struggle and obtain representation in various Western
countries; and how traditional authority and rituals transform
under these conditions. Studying this minority group's experience
helps to understand oppression and resistance in the broader Middle
East.
