Description
Islamism: A History of Political Islam from the Fall of the Ottoman Empire to the Rise of ISIS Tarek Osman explores the development of Islamist movements in the Middle East over the past century, examining why political Islam managed to win successive elections and how groups have responded after ascending to power. He delves into the alliances that have formed among Islamist factions and against them, addressing key issues such as Islamism's compatibility with modernity and its impact on social contracts and minorities. Osman provides a nuanced analysis of Salafism, its evolution, and connections to jihadist groups in the region. He also speculates on what the future prospects for Islamist movements may hold for the Middle East and the wider world. This thought-provoking work offers a comprehensive understanding of the complex dynamics at play in the region. Through his examination of the largest and most influential Islamic groups in the Middle East, Osman sheds light on the intricate relationships between politics, society, and culture that shape the region's future.
