This is a complicated story, involving tangled legal issues and intricate political maneuvering. Prince is always aware of how the political and the legal affected actual lives. The story is fast-paced and engaging. --Richard Lyman Bushman is Gouverneur Morris Professor Emeritus of History at Columbia University and author of Joseph Smith: Rough Stone Rolling A meticulous documentation. Prince's survey of Mormon pronouncements on LGBT issues appears to have left no stone unturned. --Val Holley, author of 25th Street Confidential: Drama, Decadence, and Dissipation along Ogden's Rowdiest Road This is a book everyone has been waiting for. To have all of this information in one place--information which has previously been tucked away here and there in random internet document leaks and blog posts--is truly, truly valuable. --Joanna Brooks, author of The Book of Mormon Girl: A Memoir of an American Faith and coeditor of Decolonizing Mormonism: Approaching a Postcolonial Zion

Focusing on the place held by three immensely popular Sufi saints--Rumi, Yunus Emre, and Haji Bektash--in the Turkish imagination, Soileau provides a fascinating insight into the religious sensibilities and social and political conflicts of modern Turkey. He perceptively reconstructs contestations about the nature of their sainthood that allowed socialists and nationalists, Alevis and Sunnis, humanists and Islamists to appropriate these saints as icons symbolising their own world view. --Martin van Bruinessen, co-author of Sufism and the Modern in Islam
