"Kim Shively's book is the best available introduction to lived Islam in Turkey to date. Based on longstanding fieldwork, it offers a vivid and lucid picture of the manifold manifestations of Islam and its weaving with state and society since 1923. This is a must-read for all those interested in Turkish affairs.-- ""Fabio Vicini, Istanbul 29 Mayis University / McGill University"" Islam in Modern Turkey does a good job of introducing the reader to one of the most dynamic and poorly understood contexts of Islam in the modern period. [...] Shively's work is a comprehensive, introductory approach to the topic that is a first step toward writing a more exhaustive history of Islam in Turkey.--Susan Gunasti, Ohio Wesleyan University ""Middle East Journal"""
