Türkiye'de Hizbullah

Hezbollah was a secret organization that committed devastating violence in Turkey's Kurdish geography in the 1990s, later evolving into a social movement and political party. It is still a closed structure; It has an image that generally evokes fear in those looking at it from outside. Mehmet Kurt sheds a strong light on the dark world of Hezbollah. By drawing a detailed picture of Hezbollah's ideological, political and organizational environment; We not only examine the understanding of religion and the view of violence, but also see a vivid depiction of group affiliation and dynamics within the organization. We gain a solid view of the devotional culture in Hezbollah's world, about the death cult, about how enemy figures (apostate, tyrant, Jew…) are imagined.

Analyzing written sources, direct observations and in-depth interviews with the knowledge of both theology and sociology, the author also makes a detailed analysis of visual (and bodily) representations. The fact that he was able to establish a delicate balance between 'outsider' and 'insider' views on Hezbollah makes the book successful. (…)

A book that will make it much easier for you to get to know and understand Hezbollah, which we have started to talk about intensely again lately and will definitely continue to talk about...
