Résumé
A Shi'ite minority in Anatolia : the A/evis A. Gokalp The Alevis constitute a religious minority which comprehends more than one-fifth of the Turkish population. The doctrine, cult and pantheon of the Alevis — a branch of the Muslim shi'ite tradition — have been considered heretical throughout the entire history of the Turks in Anatolia. In the first instance, the reasons for this ostracism derive from a doctrinal antagonism. Political hostility follows ; the Alevi lineage brotherhoods which continue the Oghouz-Turkoman traditions ofchiefdom are the polar opposite of the strongly centralized Ottoman political rationality. Modern Kemalist ideology is secular and emphasizes Turkishness. As followers of specifically Turkish traditions and as the victims of sunnite persecution, the Alevis became unconditional followers of Ataturk's ideas.
