| Summary: | Media, Religion, Citizenship is about Alevi media and the ways in which it has generated a particular form of citizenship. Alevis are a vibrant transnational community across Europe whose right claims for recognition has been denied in Turkey. Drawing on an ethnographic study of the community, interviews wtih media workers, and analysis of television programmes, the book demonstrates that Alevi media paves the way for transversal imaginaries and rights claims that include different localities. The book also contributes to the decoloniality of media studies by situating Alevi media within the history of Alevi movement and critically engages with Eurocentric accounts of media and citizenship |
