Media, Religion, Citizenship explores Alevi media and the ways in which it has generated a particular form of citizenship for Alevis in Turkey and across Europe. Alevis are a vibrant, transnational community across Europe whose claim for recognition has been denied. Drawing on an ethnographic study of the community, interviews with media workers, and analysis of television programmes, Emre demonstrates how Alevi media has paved the way for transversal imaginaries and rights claims that include different localities. Media, Religion, Citizenship also contributes to the decolonising of media studies by situating Alevi media within the history of Alevi movement and engaging critically with Eurocentric accounts of media and citizenship.
