Islamic Schools in Modern Turkey: Faith, Politics, and Education - Cambridge Middle East Studies
Ozgur, Iren (Princeton University, New Jersey)
This book contributes to the debate on the Islamization of Turkish politics by focusing on the Imam-Hatip schools, founded in 1924. Through textual analysis and interviews, it explores how Imam-Hatip education shapes students' politics and behaviour and examines the schools' role in Turkey's Islamization at both the high and grassroots levels of politics.
