Extract
Beyond roughly the last five years, in which I worked on this project, this book is the product of about fifteen years of engagement with various aspects of the formation of modern Alevism. I was introduced to Alevism as part of a M.A. course on “Religions in Contemporary Turkey” that I took at Marburg University in the winter semester 1994/95. In the final exam I focused on Alevism, earning one of the worst grades ever in my student life. The instructor of that course, Ursula Spuler-Stegeman, was my first academic mentor, and I would like to use this opportunity to acknowledge the encouragement that she provided me at these very beginnings of my academic career.
The research that led to this monograph was made possible by the institutional support I received by first Hofstra University and then Istanbul Technical University, as well as by fellowships I received from the American Research Institute in Turkey/National Endowment for the Humanities, Koç University’s Research Center for Anatolian Civilizations, and the Zentrum Moderner Orient (Berlin). I would like to thank these institutions for the different ways of material support they provided and for enabling me to share and discuss my work with other colleagues. In addition, I also greatly benefitted from presenting and discussing work of mine that went into this book at various other academic venues, only a few of which I am able to name here. I benefitted in particular from presentations I gave at several annual meetings of the American Academy of Religion, as well as at a conference on Alevi-Bektashi Communities in the Ottoman Realm at Bosphorus University.
