Includes bibliographical references (p. 283-299) and index. Toward a theory of hegemonic politics -- Islamization in Turkey as constitution of hegemony -- Vicissitudes of integral political society -- The making and unmaking of integral civil society -- The emergence of modern Islamic political society -- Modern Islamic civil society triumphant -- Conclusion : Islamic hegemony in comparative perspective. Over the last decade, pious Muslims all over the world have gone through contradictory transformations. Though public attention commonly rests on the turn toward violence, this book's stories of transformation to 'moderate Islam' in a previously radical district in Istanbul exemplify another experience. In a shift away from distrust of the state to partial secularization, Islamists in Turkey transitioned through a process of absorption into existing power structures. |
