Although Turkey is a secular state, it is often characterised as a Muslim country. In her latest book, Lejla Voloder provides an engaging and revealing study of a Bosniak community in Turkey, one of the Muslim minorities actually recognised by the state in Turkey. Under what circumstances have they resettled to Turkey? How do they embrace Islam? How does one live as a Bosniak, a Turkish citizen, a mother, a father, a member of a household, and as one guided by Islam? The first book based on fieldwork to detail the lives of members of the Bosnian and Bosniak diaspora in Turkey, A Muslim Minority in Turkey makes a unique contribution to the study of Muslim minority groups in Turkey and the Middle East.
Lejla Voloder is a teaching fellow, School of Social Sciences, Monash University, Australia. She has been visiting research fellow, Department of Sociology, Bogazici University, Istanbul, and is the author of A Muslim Diaspora in Australia (I.B.Tauris, 2017) and co-editor (with L. Kirpitchenko) of Insider research on Migration and Mobility: International Perspectives on Researcher Positioning (2014).
