Sample Text	The "guidance novels" published in the 1960s played an important role in the construction of the cultural identity that the Islamist movement tried to reinforce and contributed to the development of the Islamist cultural industry and mass culture. After the 1980s, marked by the Turkish-Islamic synthesis, there were different manifestations. In the 1990s, when the social types and culture suggested by Hidayet novels became widespread and the generations who grew up reading these novels came to the fore in the struggle for hegemonicization, and when political Islam was closer to power than ever before, "self-criticism novels" were published. In this article, the legacy of the guidance novels is evaluated through Minyeli Abdullah (1967) and Huzur Sokak (1969), and the popular manifestations of political Islam in literature and the issues of "self-criticism" in the Islamist novel are brought up for discussion by focusing on Mehmet Efe's Mızraksız İlmihal (1993) and Halime Toros's Halkaların Ezgisi (1997), which are two examples of the self-critical novel genre., Novels of Guidance (Hidayet Romanları) published in 1960s played a very important role in the construction of the cultural identity aimed by the Islamist movement, and contributed to the development of Islamist culture industry and also mass culture. In the 1980s different perspectives emerged as Turkish-Islam synthesis reigned. In the 1990s, when the culture and personalities suggested in Novels of Guidance became common and generations who grew into adulthood reading such novels came into prominence in the struggle for hegemony, political Islam got closest to power, novels including self-criticism appeared. In this article, the legacy of Novels of Guidance are evaluated with Minyeli Abdullah (1967) and Huzur Sokak (1969) at the explicit focus and two self-critical novels, Mehmet Efe's Mızraksız İlmihal (1993) and Halime Toros's Halkaların Ezgisi (1997) are examined with an aim to discuss popular representations of political Islam in literature and self-criticism in Islamist novel.
