Gülen: The Ambiguous Politics of Market Islam in Turkey and the World

The "Hizmet" ("Service") Movement of Fethullah GÃ¼len is Turkeyâ€™s most influential Islamic identity community. Widely praised throughout the early 2000s as a mild and moderate variation on Islamic political identity, the GÃ¼len Movement has long been a topic of both adulation and conspiracy in Turkey. In GÃ¼len, Joshua D. Hendrick suggests that the GÃ¼len Movement should be given credit for playing a significant role in Turkey's rise to global prominence.
Â
Hendrick draws on 14 months of ethnographic fieldwork in Turkey and the U.S. for his study. He argues that the movementâ€™s growth and impact both inside and outside Turkey position both its leader and its followers as indicative of a "post political" turn in twenty-first century Islamic political identity in general, and as illustrative of Turkeyâ€™s political, economic, and cultural transformation in particular.
