Football in the Middle East
State, Society, and the Beautiful Game

Far and away the most popular sport in the world, football has a special place in Middle Eastern societies, and for Middle Eastern states. With Qatar hosting the 2022 FIFA World Cup, this region has been cast into the global footballing spotlight, raising issues of geopolitical competition, consumer culture and social justice.
Taking an interdisciplinary approach, this book examines the complex questions raised by the phenomenon of football as a significant cultural force in the Middle East, as well as its linkages to broader political and socioeconomic processes. The establishment of football as a national sport offers significant insight into the region’s historical experiences with colonialism and struggles for independence, as well as the sport’s vital role in local and regional politics today–whether at the forefront of popular mobilisations, or as an instrument of authoritarian control. Football has also served as an arena of contestation in the formation of national identity, the struggle for gender equality, and the development of the media landscape.
The twelve contributions to this volume draw on extensive engagement with the existing body of literature, and introduce original research questions that promise to open new directions for the study of football in the Middle East.
Answering the Call
Popular Islamic Activism in Egypt

When revolutionary hero Gamal Abdel Nasser dismantled and suppressed Egypt's largest social movement organization during the 1950s, few could have imagined that the Muslim Brotherhood would not only reemerge, but could one day compete for the presidency in the nation's first ever democratic election. While there is no shortage of analyses of the Muslim Brotherhood's recent political successes and failures, no study has investigated the organization's triumphant return from the dustbin of history. Answering the Call examines the means by which the Muslim Brotherhood was reconstituted during Anwar al-Sadat's presidency. Through analysis of structural, ideological, and social developments during this period in the history of the Islamic movement, a more accurate picture of the so-called "Islamic resurgence" developsone that represents the rebirth of an old idea in a new setting. The Muslim Brotherhood's success in rebuilding its organization rested in large part on its ability to attract a new generation of Islamic activists that had come to transform Egypt's colleges and universities into a hub for religious contention against the state. Led by groups such as al-Gama'ah al-Islamiyyah (The Islamic Society), the student movement exhibited a dynamic and vibrant culture of activism that found inspiration in a multitude of intellectual and organizational sources, of which the Muslim Brotherhood was only one. By the close of the 1970s, however, internal divisions over ideology and strategy led to the rise of factionalism within the student movement. A majority of student leaders opted to expand the scope of their activist mission by joining the Muslim Brotherhood, rejuvenating the struggling organization, and launching a new phase in its history. Answering the Call is an original study of the history of this dynamic and vibrant period of modern Egyptian history, giving readers a fresh understanding of one of Egypt's most pivotal eras.

Global Histories and Practices of Islamophobia

A comprehensive overview of manifestations of Islamophobia worldwide.With Islamophobia becoming a household term during the past decade, it has become more urgent to investigate the history and development of this modern concept. Although the term ‘Islamophobia’ has a relatively recent origin, historians recognise that fear and hatred of Islam and its followers have a long and unfortunate lineage. Expressions of Islamophobia have had world-altering consequences—from the premodern Christian theological hostility to the Islamic faith and the papal discourses that helped prompt the First Crusade, to Orientalist scholars and contemporary politicians who have used it to justify imperial domination. Adopting a multidisciplinary approach, this volume brings together experts from around the world to analyse the global, historical, theological and political dimensions of Islamophobia. The contributors cover topics including historical practices of Orientalism; the impact of theological disputes with Islam within faith traditions; state policies on immigration; the role of gender, empire and post-colonialism; government-led discrimination against Muslims; ethnic cleansing; and the relationship between Islamophobia and the rise of the national security state. Featuring chapters from leading and emerging voices in recent scholarship on Islamophobia, this volume provides the vital historical context to understand the growing intolerance of today’s world.
