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.
