Drawing on intensive fieldwork, Elise Massicard suggests that because of activists' many different definitions of Aleviness, the movement is in this sense an \"identity movement without an identity.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elise Massicard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415667968\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415667968\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/07\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 260\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.23lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.63d","brand":"Elise Massicard","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48136108998911,"sku":"9780415667968","price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a6ff59f9-f21c-47f2-9c86-0709082fe139.jpg?v=1770160570","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-alevis-in-turkey-and-elise-massicard-9780415667968","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
