Ever since the highly controversial appointment of a pious president in the
secular Turkish Republic in 2007, both the Turkish state and society have
been deeply divided over the issue of piety and Muslim politics. The essays
in this book reveal that state secularism and religious society mutually
form, inform and transform each other. The contributors use fresh data and a
variety of primary research methods to explore all the facets of the
state-society relationship and consider the implications of their findings
for freedom and democracy in the state.
