Over the past three decades, through rises and falls in power,
regime repression and exclusion, the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood
has endured, proving more resilient than any other Islamist
movement in the world. In this book Khalil al-Anani explores the
factors that have enabled the Brotherhood to survive so long within
an ever-changing political landscape. Inside the Muslim Brotherhood
unpacks the principal factors that shape the movement's identity,
organization, and activism. Investigating the processes of
socialization, indoctrination, recruitment, identification,
networking, and mobilization that characterize the movement,
al-Anani argues that the Brotherhood is not merely a political
actor seeking power but an identity-maker that aims to change
societal values, norms, and morals to line up with its ideology and
worldview. The Brotherhood is involved in an intensive process of
meaning construction and symbolic production that shapes
individuals' identity and gives sense to their lives. The result is
a distinctive code of identity that binds members together,
maintains their activism, and guides their behavior in everyday
life. Al-Anani attributes the Brotherhood's longevity to its
tight-knit structure coupled with a complex membership system that
has helped them resist regime penetration. The book also explores
the divisions and differences within the movement and how these
affect its strategy and decisions. The culmination of over a decade
of research and interviews with leaders and members of the
movement, this book challenges the dominant narratives about
Islamists and Islamism as a whole.
