This book provides a ground breaking analysis of the concrete practices of Islamist movements to assess their impact on post-2011 activism.



Islamism haunted post-2011 movements for democratisation in the Arab world. Political liberalisations opened space for Islamist movements – from the Muslim Brotherhood and Salafist to Jihadists and the Islamic State – and seemed to threaten the liberal character of reforms. Going against this popular perception of Islamism as defined by an illiberal ideology, this book provides a ground breaking analysis of the concrete practices of Islamist movements to assess their impact on post-2011 activism. It traces the establishment of Islamic schools, charity organisations, courts and political parties; articulations of Islamic collective identities, enforcement of public norms and provision of public services during the Tunisian transition and the Syrian crisis (2011-2021). Teije H. Donker argues that Islamists are caught in an enduring struggle to define their own impact by rendering religion distinct among the practices that make up social and political conflict. This results in a phenomenon that defies easy categorisations and morphs with social and political developments in the region.

Arvustused

Based upon an extremely rich empirical analysis of the Tunisian transition to democracy and the Syrian crisis, this volume provides a fundamental contribution to our understanding of Islamist movements. For social movement scholars, the conceptualisation and investigation of contentious practices represents an important theoretical innovation. -- Donatella della Porta, Scuola Normale Superiore
