The book challenges the notion that Kemalist secularism eradicated religion from Turkey's public life, arguing instead that the Ottoman millet system significantly influenced Turkish and Balkan national identities during the interwar period. By analyzing how this historical framework, which categorized the population into religious groups, shaped national sentiment, the author explores the complex interplay between religion and nationalism. Key themes include the lasting impact of religious identity on contemporary national narratives in both Turkey and the Balkans.
