More about the book
The book explores the potential of Islamism to transcend ethnic divisions between Turkish Muslims and Kurds amid a dynamic political landscape in Turkey. Drawing from two years of fieldwork in Istanbul, it analyzes the fragmented Islamist political movement in the context of Turkey’s shift away from a repressive modernizing project. The Islamist movement's critique of Western liberalism and its embrace of Muslim ideals face challenges from rising Kurdish nationalism and the complexities of the country’s historical conflicts.
