In recent years, the Islamization of Turkish politics and public
life has been the subject of much debate in Turkey and the West.
This book makes an important contribution to those debates by
focusing on a group of religious schools, known as Imam-Hatip
schools, founded a year after the Turkish Republic, in 1924. At the
outset, the main purpose of Imam-Hatip schools was to train
religious functionaries. However, in the ensuing years, the
curriculum, function and social status of the schools have changed
dramatically. Through ethnographic and textual analysis, the book
explores how Imam-Hatip school education shapes the political
socialization of the schools' students, those students' attitudes
and behaviours and the political and civic activities of their
graduates. By mapping the schools' connections to Islamist
politicians and civic leaders, the book sheds light on the
significant, yet often overlooked, role that the schools and their
communities play in Turkey's Islamization at the high political and
grassroots levels.
