4. Alevism is a syncretic belief system, defined in close harmony with nature,
   which incorporates elements from pre-Islamic beliefs as well as aspects
   of Shiite Islam and other monotheistic religions. It is possible that 10 to
   25 percent of the Turkish population is Alevi. The identity and religious
   practices of the (Zaza-speaking) Alevi of Tunceli are slightly different from
   those of other Alevi in Anatolia. Historically, Alevism has been defined in
   opposition to Sunnism and identified by its opposition to central author-
   ity; see Hamit Bozarslan, “L’alévisme, la méta-histoire et les mythes fon-
   dateurs de la recherche,” in Turquie, les mille visages. Politique, religion,
   femmes et immigration, edited by Isabelle Rigoni (Paris: Syllepse, 2000).
   Categorized as a heterodoxy, it has often been stigmatized as sacrilegious
   and repressed as such. After enduring violence and subsequently migrat-
   ing to cities, various adaptations and “rereadings” of the Alevi identity
   and a significant—but fractured—movement around Alevi identity has
   emerged and developed in the last twenty years. See Tord Olsson, Elisabeth
   Özdalga and Catharina Raudvere, eds., Alevi Identity (Istanbul: Swedish
   Research Institute, 1998); and Elise Massicard, Constructions identitaires,
   mobilisation et territorialité politique: le mouvement aléviste en Turquie et en
   Allemagne depuis la fin des années 1980, PhD dissertation, IEP Paris, 2002.
