Beskrivning

Since the events of 9/11, Salafism in the Middle East has often been perceived as fixed, rigid and even violent, but this assumption overlooks the quietist ideology that characterises many Salafi movements. Through an exploration of Salafism in Jordan, Joas Wagemakers presents the diversity among quietist Salafis on a range of ideological and political issues, particularly their relationship with the state. He expounds a detailed analysis of Salafism as a whole, whilst also showing how and why quietist Salafism in Jordan - through ideological tendencies, foreign developments, internal conflicts, regime involvement, theological challenges and regional turmoil - transformed from an independent movement into a politically domesticated one. Essential for graduate students and academic researchers interested in Middle Eastern politics and Salafism, this major contribution to the study of Salafism debunks stereotypes and offers insight into the development of a trend that still remains a mystery to many.

Recensioner i media

'A comprehensive and in-depth study about Salafism. Through the Jordanian paradigm, Joas Wagemakers' book goes as deep as possible in understanding the dynamics of 'Salafism' as a whole - its inner debates, its main theological and political issues, the histories of those who embody its main expression. It is a much-needed contribution to the understanding of a world-wide phenomenon, raising the issue of differences and commonalities between 'quietist' and 'jihadi' Salafism - and the possible crossovers between the two.' Bernard Rougier, Sorbonne Paris III University
