AKU-ISMC: From ‘Sort of Muslim’ to ‘Proud to be Alevi’: Young British Alevis and Identity

AKU-ISMC: From ‘Sort of Muslim’ to ‘Proud to be Alevi’: Young British Alevis and IdentityFri, 27 Oct 2017 at 18:00

This presentation explains how the negative identity of second-generation Alevis in the UK has been transmitted intergenerationally, linked to their history of persecuted exclusion in Turkey and to the transnational settlement of Alevi migrants in the UK, and how this sense of marginalisation and invisibility in the receiving country can be addressed. Education is identified as a starting point for the underachievement and disaffection of Alevi pupils, which can lead them into more serious trouble and descent into the rainbow underclass.
