The Management of Islamic Activism: Salafis, the Muslim Brotherhood, and State Power in Jordan
- 212 páginas
- 8 horas de lectura
The book explores the interplay between state power and Islamic activism in Jordan, highlighting how the regime maintains control over opposition despite political liberalization. Through extensive fieldwork, it reveals that laws regulating civil society are manipulated to favor moderate Islamic groups while sidelining radical activists, who instead create informal networks to operate outside state control. By comparing Salafis and the Muslim Brotherhood, the author illustrates how state strategies influence social movement dynamics and mobilization within the Islamic landscape.
