Popis:	The recent change from the confined, isolated Islamic identity of the 1970s and 1980s to the growing consumption‐oriented Muslim definition is an important element in comprehending the direction of change in Turkey today. This article focuses on the formation of the new Islamic self, granting a primary role to Muslim women in the city. We will analyze the way in which the headscarved university students carry the potential of pioneers of change in urban Turkey by claiming their city (with their demand to be regarded as “full citizens”) and their individuality (with their demand to have the freedom of choice on personal matters), posing a credible threat to the still ongoing influence of the Kemalist modernization project.
