How can people in the West make sense of contemporary unrest in the
Muslim world? Is Islamic fundamentalism to be understood purely in
religious terms? In Resistance and Control in Pakistan, one of the
world's leading authorities on Islam, Akbar S. Ahmed, illuminates
what is happening in the Muslim world today and assesses the
underlying causes. He does this by telling the dramatic story of
the revolt of the Mullah of Waziristan in northwest Pakistan and by
placing it within the context of other movements occurring
elsewhere in the Islamic world. He also examines the social
structure and operative principles in Muslim society and
scrutinizes the influence of religion in a society that is
undergoing modernization. Till now, there has been little available
literature on this topic. This book, written by an eminent scholar
with an international reputation fills this gap, giving students of
politics, sociology and Asian studies a revealing examination of
the Muslim world today.
