Presenting a political history and sociology of Moroccan Sufism
from colonialism to the modern day, this book studies the Sufi
model of Master and Disciple in relation to social and political
life, comparing the different eras of acquiescent versus dissident
Sufism.
This comparative fieldwork study offers new perspectives on the
connection between the monarchy and mystic realms with a specific
coverage of the Boutchichi order and Abdessalam Yassine s Al Adl
Wal Ihsane, examining the myth of apolitical Sufism throughout the
Middle East and North Africa. Drawing on Michel Foucault and James
Scott, this book fuses thinking about the political dimension of
Sufism, a "hidden transcript," involving power struggles, patronage
and justice and its esoteric spiritual ethics of care.
Addressing the lacuna in English language literature on the
Boutchichi Sufi order in Morocco, this book will be of interest to
students and scholars of Islamic Studies, Comparative Politics and
the MENA region."
