Produktbeschreibung

This book's examination of German-Turkish relations reveals the mutually formative processes of religious identities and institutions. Definition of identity and regulation of community have always been based on religion, except during the middle twentieth century, which is mistakenly treated as normative for being identified with the secularism of the nation-state.
