This collection seeks to advance our understanding of intra-Islamic
identity conflict during a period of upheaval in the Middle East.
Instead of treating distinctions between and within Sunni and Shia
Islam as primordial and immutable, it examines how political
economy, geopolitics, domestic governance, social media, non- and
sub-state groups, and clerical elites have affected the
transformation and diffusion of sectarian identities. Particular
attention is paid to how conflicts over distribution of political
and economic power have taken on a sectarian quality, and how a
variety of actors have instrumentalised sectarianism. The volume,
covering Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia and the Gulf, Iran, and
Egypt, includes contributors from a broad array of disciplines
including political science, history, sociology, and Islamic
studies. Beyond Sunni and Shia draws on extensive fieldwork and
primary sources to offer insights that are empirically rich and
theoretically grounded, but also accessible for policy audiences
and the informed public.
