Books. Alevism as an Ethno-Religious Identity: Contested Boundaries. Celia Jenkins, Suavi Aydin, Umit Cetin. Routledge, Oct 23, 2019 - Social Science - 140 pages. Until recently the importance of religion in the modern world has often been underestimated in Western societies, whereas its significance is absolutely crucial in the Middle East. Traditional Alevism, which was based on rural/isolated life started to dissolve as a result of urbanization in the 1960s and the 1970s. The social dynamics of Turkey associated the dissolution of archaic Alevism with political mobilization that Turkey experienced in the same period; therefore, the Alevis affiliated themselves with socialist Alevism also existed in pre-islamic times which is still noticeable in its ceremonies and customs.
