Islamic movements in North Africa have historically been
distinguished from their counterparts in other parts of the Arab
world because they have demonstrated a marked willingness to work
within the political system and have at times even been officially
recognized and allowed to participate in local and national
elections. As a result, Islamic thinkers from the Maghrib have
produced important writing about the role of Islam and the state,
democracy, and nonviolent change. In this book, Emad Shahin offers
a comparative analysis of the Islamic movements in Algeria,
Tunisia, and Morocco, exploring the roots of their development, the
nature of their dynamics, and the tenets of their ideology. He
argues that the formation and expansion of Islamic movements since
the late 1960s has come in response to the marginalization of Islam
in state and society and to a perceived failure of imported models
of development to resolve socioeconomic problems or to incorporate
the Muslim belief system into a workable plan for social
transformation.
