But in Turkey, Islamic actors--from the Gülen movement to the pro-Islamist Justice and Development Party--have been able to negotiate the terms of secular liberal democracy. This book explores the socio-political conditions and cultural venues in which Islamic movements cease to confront and start to cooperate with secular states. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThough both the Gülen and JP have ambivalent attitudes toward individual freedoms and various aspects of civil society, their continuing engagements with the state have encouraged democracy in Turkey. As they contest issues of education and morality but cooperate in ethnic and gender politics, they redraw the boundaries between public sites and private lives. Showing opportunities for engagement between Islam and the state, from Turkey to Kazakhstan to the United States, \u003ci\u003eBetween Islam and the State\u003c\/i\u003e illustrates a successful means of negotiating between religion and politics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Berna Turam\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0804755019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780804755016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/26\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.98h x 6.10w x 0.49d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2007 pg. 51","brand":"Berna Turam","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46962515804415,"sku":"9780804755016","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d49f6037-3ee5-4c33-96c0-1b89ef0f0c17.jpg?v=1750651683","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/between-islam-and-the-state-berna-turam-9780804755016","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
