Abstract

Türkiye’de azımsanmayacak bir nüfusu oluşturan Aleviler, Türkiye tarihinde uzun yüzyıllardır yer alırlar. Daha çok XVI-XVIII. yüzyıllardaki Osmanlı-Safevi siyasi çekişmeleriyle gündeme gelmiş olsalar da, Alevilerin Türkiye tarihindeki yeri Büyük Selçuklulara kadar dayanır. Ancak bu tarih yeterince araştırılmış değildir. Gelişen teknoloji ve iletişim ağlarının oluşturduğu küreselleşme sonucunda, bin dokuz yüz seksenlerden sonra bir “Alevi uyanışı” gerçekleşmiştir. Bu çalışma, son dönemlerde hem Türkiye’de hem de yurtdışında yoğun ilgi odağı olan Alevilik ile ilgili yapılmış ve İngilizce yayınlanmış kaynakları irdelemektir. İngilizce yayınlanan araştırmaların sadece Alevilerin toplum yapıları, tarihi ve dini gelenekleri ile ilgilenmediği, özellikle yurt dışındaki Alevilerin de uyum ve kimlik sorunlarını ele aldığı sonucuna varılmıştır.

ALEVISM IN RECENT RESEARCHES WRITTEN IN ENGLISH

Abstract

As a religious ethnic group that covers a considerable number of Turkish population, the history of Alevis goes back to the Ottoman-Safavid conflict in the 16th and 18th centuries. The history of Alevis, however, has not been well recorded, and relevantly researched. Starting from the 1980s, and due to the developing communication technologies and globalization, it has been possible to talk about an “Alevi revival” since the 1980s. This study aims to review the large bulk of research that is done on Alevism since the 1980s. The achieved results display a deep concern with Alevis in contemporary life, their history, traditions and beliefs as well as identity and integration problems of the Diasporas
