An incisive analysis of Islamist movements in the Middle East A political, social, and cultural battle is currently raging in the Middle East. On one side are the Islamists, those who believe Islam should be the region’s primary identity. In opposition are nationalists, secularists, royal families, military establishments, and others who view Islamism as a serious threat to national security, historical identity, and a cohesive society. This provocative, vitally important work explores the development of the largest, most influential Islamic groups in the Middle East over the past century. Tarek Osman examines why political Islam managed to win successive elections and how Islamist groups in various nations have responded after ascending to power. He dissects the alliances that have formed among Islamist factions and against them, addressing the important issues of Islamism’s compatibility with modernity, with the region’s experiences in the twentieth century, and its impact on social contracts and minorities. He explains what Salafism means, its evolution, and connections to jihadist groups in the Middle East. Osman speculates on what the Islamists’ prospects for the future will mean for the region and the rest of the world.

La « radicalisation » est un terme vague, mal défini, qui ne rend pas compte de la complexité du phénomène auquel il renvoie. Par ailleurs, les débats menés sur le thème de la « radicalisation » sont généralement de nature à polariser les opinions. Comment introduire des nuances dans des réflexions généralement stéréotypées et des images préconçues ?Ce livre répond à cette question. Les auteurs remontent dans le temps les traces du phénomène « radicalisation » et s'arrêtent d'abord à la période douloureuse entourant les attentats de Paris et de Bruxelles : l'époque de la guerre civile en Syrie et de l'attrait équivoque qu'elle suscitait auprès de certains jeunes, l'époque du siège de Molenbeek et de la fermeture temporaire d'un club de boxe supposément « radicalisé ». Mais, au-delà, ce livre est le fruit d'une entreprise de dialogue avec des jeunes bruxellois.On le verra, le centre des débats se détourne rapidement de la « radicalisation » en tant que telle pour donner à voir un creuset complexe, qui apparaît comme le reflet sombre d'une société vulnérable. Dans ces dialogues, on entendra les jeunes discuter à propos de la différence entre Nelson Mandela, Anders Breivik et Salah Abdeslam, par exemple. Plus loin, on les écoutera évoquer un enseignement discriminatoire, des violences policières et les blessures infligées par des traitements injustes.Une pensée traverse ce livre comme un fil rouge : notre société est confrontée à des transitions. Notre société est sous pression, et ce qui lui fait défaut pour vivre ces transitions de la manière la moins chaotique possible, c'est une résilience collective.

Through a collection of essays, Fundamentalism: Perspectives on a Contested History explores the ways in which the concept of global fundamentalism does and does not illuminate developments in modern Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. At issue is whether, beyond the specific milieu of American Protestantism in the early decades of the twentieth century, the word 'fundamentalism' captures something important on a global scale that is not captured-or not as well-by other words. Readers will quickly discover that in exploring this issue the book is "at war with itself."In Fundamentalism Simon A. W

""This play tackles the theatrically attractive but ethically complex issue of Christian fundamentalism. Nyamnjoh, as a sociologist is well qualified to explore the social problems and psychological pressures which give rise to the born-again phenomenon, and the strong appeal of fundamentalist religion. The Convert, however is no schematic sociological tract. It deals with the conflicting imperatives in 21st century West Africa, which push ordinary people into extraordinary situations, and provides no easy solutions to the issues raised. Although the play revolves around the Ultimate Church of
