Gustav Landauer was an unconventional anarchist who aspired to a
return to a communal life. His antipolitical rejection of
authoritarian assumptions is based on a radical linguistic
scepticism that could be considered the theoretical premise of his
anarchism. The present volume aims to add to the existing
scholarship on Landauer by shedding new light on his work,
focussing on the two interrelated notions of skepsis and
antipolitics. In a time marked by a deep doubt concerning modern
politics, Landauer's alternative can help us to more seriously
address the struggle for a different articulation of our
communitarian and ecological needs.

Essay on Islamization is a study of the Islamization of all Muslim
societies and their conversion to orthodox Islam which, with its
chapels, soldier monks and holy war, leads to fundamentalism as
well as to a moral puritanism. Cherkaoui gauges the importance of
this global phenomenon by analyzing the empirical data of some
sixty Muslim and non-Muslim societies. He also conducts two
ethnographic surveys to identify the metamorphoses of Muslim
religious practices and their causes.
