Aprašymas

Drawing on extensive ethnographic research in Anatolia, Melih U¿rä Erol explores how Alevis negotiate religious-cultural identity across generations. While older generations often practice their faith quietly-shaped by memories of persecution and social invisibility-, younger Alevis increasingly express their identity publicly through cultural initiatives, civic engagement, and digital activism. Tracing state-Alevi relations from the Ottoman era to the present, this book reveals enduring inequalities, including the lack of legal recognition of Alevi places of worship, as well as highly Sunni-oriented religious education. At the book's core lies the "paradox of belonging": Despite marginalization and human rights challenges, many Alevis maintain a deep sense of belonging and commitment to the Turkish state.
