It Argues That The Dynamics, Processes, And Organization Of Islamic Activism Can Be Understood As Important Elements Of Contention That Transcend The Specificity Of Islam As A System Of Meaning And Identity And A Basis For Collective Action.

The Book Covers Myriad Examples Of Islamic Activism (sunni And Shi'a) In Eight Countries (arab And Non-arab), Including Case Studies Of Violence And Contention, Networks And Alliances, And Culture And Framing.</p>
