2012, Yol/Re: Dersim İnanç Sembolizmi, Antropolojik Bir Yaklaşım

Dersim is a Kurdish Alevi city with many particularities. This book is the first etno-religious ethnographic work based on the fieldwork of Ph.D. dissertation. Thus the book is one of the unique research that has used Kurdish (two dialects, as Kurmanci and Kirmancki) etymology which always omitted on purpose due to the ideological and political atmosphere of Turkey. The study also focuses on Kurdish Alevism "Reya Heqi/Raa Haqi" not as a sect of Islam but as an independent religion. In that regard designs, it's structure, functionality, tribal structural interrelationship and Ocax system ( religious casting). The book contains a large mythological part of Dersim and thus Reya Heqi, which has a strong connection between society, societal positionality, and the religion. The last part of the book focuses on identity, personality, and religion. In that section, the author discusses the progressive and leftist political tendency of the Kurdish Alevism thus Dersim.
