The study is informed by the author's longstanding contact with figures in the Hizmet\/Gulen Movement over the past 26 years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The book features 71 interviews with exiles, collected during fieldwork in Greece between 2018 and 2021. These narratives serve as a historical record of the individual human rights violations in Turkey since the failed coup but also provide a framework for understanding the human cost of this authoritarian crackdown. By integrating fieldwork, personal narratives, and academic theoretical grounding, this book offers a multifaceted view of the refugee experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSophia Pandya \u003c\/b\u003eis Professor and Department Chair of Religious Studies at California State University at Long Beach, USA.
