“In this scholarly yet highly accessible book,
Milton-Edwards sheds light on some of the enduring debates about
the nature of Islam and politics and examines the nuances of
sociopolitical structures in the Muslim world ... A welcome
addition to the literature on Islam and politics, especially useful
as an introductory textbook on the subject.”

“Illuminates the great variety of debates that animate
Islamic politics today. Rejecting the view that it is simply a
reaction against the West, the book relates Islamic politics to the
diversity and urgency of the political predicaments that Muslim
communities face.”
Timothy Mitchell, New York University
“This book’s clear, thoughtful perspective draws our
attention to the mutual constitution of the conflicts that exist
between politically assertive Muslim groups, and the national and
global structures of power and culture in which they
operate.”
Gregory Starrett, University of North Carolina at
Charlotte
