The Deoband movement-a revivalist movement within Sunni Islam that
quickly spread from colonial India to Pakistan, Afghanistan,
Bangladesh, and even the United Kingdom and South Africa-has been
poorly understood and sometimes feared. Despite being one of the
most influential Muslim revivalist movements of the last two
centuries, Deoband's connections to the Taliban have dominated the
attention it has received from scholars and policy-makers alike.
Revival from Below offers an important corrective, reorienting our
understanding of Deoband around its global reach, which has
profoundly shaped the movement's history. In particular, the author
tracks the origins of Deoband's controversial critique of Sufism,
how this critique travelled through Deobandi networks to South
Africa, as well as the movement's efforts to keep traditionally
educated Islamic scholars (`ulama) at the center of Muslim public
life. The result is a nuanced account of this global religious
network that argues we cannot fully understand Deoband without
understanding the complex modalities through which it spread beyond
South Asia.
