Reviews

"In an age where religious nationalisms and populisms are on the rise, Goalwin's comparative-historical work is a welcome contribution for comprehending how religious identities and politics interact. A valuable source for social scientists as well as non-specialists who are interested in this complex phenomenon."
*co-author of Challenging Neoliberalism at Turkey’s Gezi Park: From Private Discontent to Collective Action*
