Description: "This book identifies a new Islamic form in Turkey at the turn of the century, Muslimism. Neither fundamentalism nor liberal religion, Muslimism engages modernity through Islamic categories and practices. Cevik draws implications of this new form for discussions of democracy and Islam in the region, for similar movements across religious traditions, and for social theory on religion"--
