This book provides an insight into the complex entanglements of Sufi groups in the region of Ottoman and post-Ottoman Europe through a wide range of cross-disciplinary discourses. It explores the multiple contacts, interactions, and exchanges of Sufi communities with each other as well as with other religious and non-religious groups, and the often-conflictual entanglements of discourses, narratives, and traditions.
