The book seems to be a rearrangement of Shively’s original research done in the 1990s on ‘the formulation of secularism in Turkey and how it affected the lives and thinking of pious groups in Turkey’s cities’ (xvi). To present it in a shorter and more accessible form, she has rearranged the content to emphasize national development and the rise and transformation of various institution from the beginning of the Turkish Republic to the present, providing references to the Ottoman era where relevant. With this aim in view, Shively has arranged the book into eight chapters.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessKemalistsReligious CultureHaci Bektaş VeliAlevi RevivalismBook Review10.1080/09596410.2021.1974190324431434WOS:000695951500001N/A
