This book examines the development of identity politics amongst the
Alevis in Europe and Turkey, which simultaneously provided the
movement access to different resources and challenged its unity of
action. While some argue that Aleviness is a religious phenomenon,
and others claim it is a cultural or a political trend, this book
analyzes the various strategies of claim-making and reconstructions
of Aleviness as well as responses to the movement by various
Turkish and German actors. Drawing on intensive fieldwork, Elise
Massicard suggests that because of activists' many different
definitions of Aleviness, the movement is in this sense an
"identity movement without an identity."
