It presents a sophisticated and original conceptual framework that guides the analysis of these transformations... <i>Passive Revolution</i> is an excellent contribution to the study of counterhegemonic projects and the alternative paths they follow. It brings the study of radicalization and deradicalization of Islamist activism into the broader eld of political sociology and demonstrates the unique contributions that critical ethnographic methods make to the study of politics.--Salwa Ismail "University of London, <i>American Journal of Sociology</i>"<br><br>Tuğal has thus written an ambitious study that seeks to reconstruct the theoretical understanding of Islamism ... Highly recommended.--A. Paczynska<br><br>Tuğal's fresh look at the shifting relations between radical and mainstream Islamists, Kurds, and rigid secularists in Turkey provides an alternative look at Islamic politics. Undertaken at the right time and in the right place, this nuanced account of the multi-faceted struggles of the absorption of radical Islamists into the capitalist system will definitely lead to exciting, constructive debates.--Berna Turam<br><br>With breathtaking access to religious activists--even some revolutionaries--and demonstrations of how the now-dominant party mobilized the urban poor on behalf of a neo-liberal, capitalist project, Tuğal accomplishes a rare feat. Nobody will mistake this with any other work on contemporary Islamic movements.--Charles Kurzman "University of North Carolina"<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Cihan Tuğal is Assistant Professor of Sociology at the University of California, Berkeley.
