This book provokes a debate between social theory and Islamic
studies. Drawing on theories of successive modernities, sociology
of religion, and poststructuralist approaches to modern
subjectivity formation, it introduces a novel analytical framework
to the study of Middle Eastern societies. The authors explore ways
in which Muslims have constructed meaningful modern selfhoods,
providing their reader with unique insights into the ongoing social
transformation of the Middle East. Making Islamic charities and
youth organizations their primary site of investigation, they
combine studies on Islamic reform with case studies on social
activism in Egypt and Jordan. In criticizing theses about the
alleged uniqueness of Western modernity, the book challenges
exclusivist assumptions about both Western modernity and
contemporary Islamic ways of life. In this way, it makes original
contributions to conceptual discussions on modernity and our
knowledge of modern Muslim societies.
