In contemporary Turkey, discussions on the concept of ethnicity and
religiosity continue to maintain their utmost importance in
politics and daily social life. In this context, Alevi and Kurdish
identities have come to the fore with mass representation marked by
protests and violence. In spite of the importance of Kurds and
Alevis for the history of Turkey, one specific group, namely the
Kurdish Alevis, has escaped the attention of the international
world. Although wide interest upon the topic in the international
academic sphere, there are very limited academic works about
Kurdish Alevis in general. Who are the Kurdish Alevis? What are the
particular conditions for its association with the Kurdish
identity, Alevi religion, and the history of Turkey? What has been
the role of Dersim within Kurdish Alevism? The main purpose of this
edited volume, the first of its kind, is to contribute to the
understanding of these and other questions. Based on six
perspectives from scholars from various disciplinary, this approach
will present new insights on contemporary research and discussions
on the issue.
