As part of the MEDIT Meet the Author Series, we are happy to welcome Prof. Michelangelo Guida from Istanbul Medeniyet University, who will talk about his new book, Islamist Political Thought in Turkey (I.B. Tauris, 2026).
How did Islamist political thought in Turkey take shape, and how has it changed from the late Ottoman period to today? The book looks at this through three generations of thinkers, including Namık Kemal, Mehmet Akif Ersoy, Said Halim Paşa, Necip Fazıl Kısakürek, Nurettin Topçu, Said Nursi, Ali Bulaç, İsmet Özel and Cihan Aktaş. It also traces how these ideas found their way into Islamist political parties and the AK Parti era.
