This broad scope allows the book to examine Alevism in its plurality and complexity, offering insights into its evolving role within both local and global contexts. The diversity of Alevism is particularly striking in the way it interacts with mainstream religious practices, local customs, and global religious movements. As such, the book examines the ways in which Alevi communities in different regions negotiate their identity, practice their religion, and engage with other religious and cultural groups. By focusing on both the local and transnational contexts, the book examines Alevi rituals, beliefs, and social structures, offering an in-depth look at how Alevi identity is constructed and expressed. Interdisciplinary Studies on Alevism consists of 12 chapters, each one offering a unique contribution to Alevi studies. While the chapters explore distinct themes, they are integrated into the larger framework of Alevi studies and work in concert to provide a comprehensive understanding of the Alevi experience. Each chapter is written by a scholar specializing in their respective fields, ensuring that the book offers both depth and breadth in its analysis. Interdisciplinary Studies on Alevism will appeal to a wide readership, from scholars in religious studies, anthropology, sociology, and political science to those interested in issues of identity, migration, and gender in religious communities. The interdisciplinary approach makes this book accessible to a broad range of academic audiences, while its focus on the lived experiences of Alevi communities ensures that it remains grounded in the realities of everyday life for those involved in Alevi practices. Through its various approaches, Interdisciplinary Studies on Alevism ensures that it is a valuable resource for scholars, students, and anyone interested in the intersection of religion, culture, and identity in a globalized world.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003eDeniz Coşan Eke (Dr. phil.) was a postdoctoral researcher in Alevi Theological Studies at the University of Vienna, Austria, from 2020 to 2025.
