“There was a need for a book that would explain the main concepts in Alevism in a simple and understandable way for those who are new to the subject of Alevism. This work by Ali Rıza Özdemir, which I think will be useful for the reader who wants to know and understand Alevism, meets this need. This study explains the most important terms and concepts frequently used in Alevism and provides the necessary information without going into too much detail. Therefore, I have no doubt that this book will attract the necessary attention from readers. I would also like to express my gratitude and respect to Mr. Ali Rıza Özdemir, who always contributes to Alevism research with his studies, for this useful work.”

Designed as a starter book, this study clearly reveals what Alevism is and therefore what it is not, around its key terms. This starter book, which contains "pill information", offers a unique opportunity, especially for the reader who wants to know and understand Alevism. The reader who reads this book will no longer be wondering "What is Alevism?" He won't ask the question.
