Book Synopsis

Conceived as a form of stocktaking of contemporary Islam and Islamic political movements, Roberson (international relations, U. of Warwick, UK) asked each of the contributors of these 10 essays to examine a particular aspect of Islamic intellectual and material development in the Middle East and South Africa, particularly focusing on responses to the "challenges" of modernity and postmodernity. Topics include the role states and community in Islamic movements, Sunni and Shi'i networking, political aspects of Shi'i legal discussion, Islamic expression on the worldwide web, and Islamic activism and social movement theory, and the decline of clerical control over Islamic law.
