- Summary:
- "A theoretical tour de force. The author attacks head-on some of the most important, influential social thinkers of the past twenty years. She offers some very important insights in this original and interesting take on this very timely subject. The unpacking of secularist and Islamist discourse is a significant contribution to the body of scholarship about modern Turkey in particular, and by implication to other contexts as well. Also, the final section on the cult of Ataturk is quite wonderful."--Ruth Mandel, University College London
