Following the ideological disappointment of the 1967 Arab-Israeli
War, an Islamic revival arose in Egypt. Yet, far from a mechanical
reaction to the decline of secular nationalism, this religious
shift was the product of impassioned competition among Muslim
Brothers, Salafis and state institutions and their varied efforts
to mobilize Egyptians to their respective projects. By pulling
together the linked stories of these diverse claimants to religious
authority and tracing the social and intellectual history of
everyday practices of piety, Aaron Rock-Singer shows how Islamic
activists and institutions across the political spectrum reshaped
daily practices in an effort to persuade followers to adopt novel
models of religiosity. In so doing, he reveals how Egypt's Islamic
revival emerged, who it involved, and why it continues to shape
Egypt today.
