O knihe


..". (Will) have an impact on two important fields of scholarship: social movement theory and the study of Islamic activist movements." -- JohnVoll, Georgetown University
This volume represents the firstcomprehensive attempt to incorporate the study of Islamic activism into socialmovement theory. It argues that the dynamics, processes, and organization of Islamicactivism can be understood as important elements of contention that transcend thespecificity of "Islam" as a system of meaning and identity and a basis forcollective action. Drawing on extensive fieldwork, the contributors show how socialmovement theory can be utilized to address a wide range of questions about themobilization of contention in support of Muslim causes. The book covers myriadexamples of Islamic activism (Sunni and Shi'a) in eight countries (Arab andnon-Arab), including case studies of violence and contention, networks andalliances, and culture and framing.
