Nach dem Islamismus: Eine Ethnographie der Islamischen Gemeinschaft Milli Görüş
Abstract
Werner Schiffauer's book, After Islamism: An Ethnography of The Islamic Community Milli Görüş (IGMG), was first published by Suhrkamp Verlag in 2010 and translated to Turkish in 2021. The book consists of seven chapters and aims to give an inside view of experiences and contribute to the ethnography of Islam in Germany. The author conducted several interviews with leading actors and members of the post-Islamist generation, participated in IGMG events, and carried out long-term research between 2000 and 2009. In addition, many documents such as newspapers, interviews, police transcripts, court records, parliamentary minutes, and reports from the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (Bundesamt für Verfassungsschutz) are used as objects of analysis.
