| Summary |
Unparalleled in the Muslim world, a majority of Turks now consider Islam to be a matter primarily of personal choice and private belief. This book asks the question: how did such an arrangement come about? Brian Silverstein combines fine-grained ethnography with conceptual and analytical examinations of Islamic discourses and practices within mass media to reformulate the understanding of Islam, secularism, and public life |
