Reviews
'Islamic Schools in Modern Turkey provides a rich ethnography on an institution that evidently plays a central role in shaping the Islamic movement in Turkey and provides an important venue for discussions over the movement's interaction with(in)the secular state. The author's very attempt to understand imam hatips produces an extensive scholarly contribution.' Turkish Review
'... an invaluable source book, one that we will all be quoting and citing in the coming years ...' Ayse OEncu, Bustan: The Middle East Book Review
