Yesim Arat的作品《反思伊斯兰教和自由民主：土耳其政治中的伊斯兰妇女》是对当代土耳其伊斯兰教非常丰富的学术论述的一个受欢迎的补充。土耳其和国外的几位杰出的社会科学家为将现代土耳其伊斯兰教的讨论提升到一个复杂和复杂的水平做出了贡献。例如，珍妮·白色的获奖作品《土耳其的伊斯兰动员：本土政治研究》（2002年）是一本关于伊斯坦布尔的民族志，描绘了伊斯兰政治在土耳其社会的起源和持续吸引力。Esra Ozyurek的着名作品《现代的怀旧：土耳其的国家世俗主义和日常政治》（2006）展示了世俗和伊斯兰政治运动之间的权力斗争如何重新定义土耳其公民和神圣的流行观念。正在审查的工作不仅涉及现有的奖学金，它增加了一个新的层面的讨论。根据对土耳其伊斯兰改革（福利）党妇女活动家的研究，《重新思考伊斯兰教和自由民主》探讨了自由民主中世俗主义和伊斯兰教之间的关系。笔者试图通过深入访谈的方法，运用质的研究方法，对革命党妇女活动家进行深入的了解。她认为，虽然Refah党的妇女组织只是在1989年才成立，并在1998年被宪法法院的一项裁决沿着关闭，但这些组织在使该党上台和吸引大量妇女选民参政方面发挥了重要作用（1）。阿拉特的工作特别有价值，因为在追踪伊斯兰主义者和他们的世俗对手之间的“交叉施肥”时，她提供了一个互动的视角。
Yesim Arat’s work, Rethinking Islam and Liberal Democracy: Islamist Women in Turkish Politics, is a welcome addition to the remarkably rich academic discourse on Islam in contemporary Turkey. Several excellent social scientists both in Turkey and abroad have contributed to elevating the discussion on Islam in modern Turkey to a complex and sophisticated level. For example, Jenny White’s award-winning work, Islamist Mobilization in Turkey: A Study in Vernacular Politics (2002), is an ethnography of Istanbul which maps the origins and continuing appeal of Islamic politics in Turkish society. Esra Ozyurek’s notable work, Nostalgia for the Modern: State Secularism and Everyday Politics in Turkey (2006), demonstrates how power struggles between secular and Islamist political movements are reconfi guring popular notions of citizenship and the sacred in Turkey. Th e work under review not only engages the available scholarship, it adds a new dimension to the discussion. Based on a study of women activists of the Islamist Refah (Welfare) Party in Turkey, Rethinking Islam and Liberal Democracy examines the relationship between secularism and Islam in a liberal democracy. Th e author attempts to understand the women activists of the Refah Party using qualitative methods via in-depth interviews. She argues that, although the Refah Party women’s organizations only came into being in 1989 and were shut down in 1998 along with the party by a constitutional court decision, they played an important role in bringing their party to power and engaging a large female constituency in politics (1). Arat’s work is particularly valuable because, in tracing the “cross-fertilization” between Islamists and their secular adversaries, she provides an im-
