M. Hakan Yavuz is Professor of Political Science at the University of Utah.
"Provides a helpful general introduction for newcomers to the field
and contributes some original fieldwork data that will be of
interest to specialists." --American Journal of Islamic Social
Sciences
"This is a comprehensive and brilliant analysis of one of the most
influential and controversial Turkish thinkers and activists of the
contemporary world-Fethullah Gülen. M. Hakan Yavuz lays bare the
wellsprings of the Gülen movement and probes with unusual clarity
and evenhandedness the reasons for its remarkable success. Highly
recommended for those who wish to take the pulse of Turkish Islam
and its global ramifications."--Asma Afsaruddin, Chair
& Professor, Department of Near Eastern Languages & Cultures,
Indiana University Bloomington
"Richly nuanced... a well-written, first-rate analysis that will
lead one to empathize with its subject, appreciate its strengths."
--Middle East Journal
"This is an insightful scholarly narrative and authoritative
analysis of the pragmatic evolution of an Islamic enlightenment
project. The Gülen Movement remains a contingent and contested
work-in-progress, yet it has already realized some of its
modernizing potential through an Islamic contextual theology of
deep concern with the dialectic of the eternal message of Islam and
the human condition."--Abdullahi Ahmed An-Na'im, author of Islam
and the
Secular State
"A deeply sympathetic yet critical interpretation of Fethullah
Gülen and his increasingly influential and controversial Turkish
Muslim movement. Yavuz offers a contextually rich, nuanced, and
balanced account of the ongoing aggiornamento of the pietist Muslim
movement to secular modernity."--Jose Casanova, Professor of
Sociology and Senior Fellow, Berkley Center for Religion, Peace,
and World Affairs, Georgetown University
"This well-timed book not only provides an update on the growth of
the [Gulen] movement over the last decade; it also offers the
deepest view yet of its roots... In terms of its scope and
analysis, the book is of a high caliber and fills an important
gap." --Middle East Policy
