Discourse around Muslims and Islam all too often lapses into a
false dichotomy of Orientalist and fundamentalist tropes. A popular
reimagining of Islam is urgently needed. Yet it is a perhaps
unexpected political philosophical tradition that has the most to
offer in this pursuit: anarchism. Islam and Anarchism is a highly
original and interdisciplinary work, which simultaneously disrupts
two commonly held beliefs - that Islam is necessarily authoritarian
and capitalist; and that anarchism is necessarily anti-religious
and anti-spiritual. Deeply rooted in key Islamic concepts and
textual sources, and drawing on radical Indigenous, Islamic
anarchistic and social movement discourses, Abdou proposes
'Anarca-Islam'. Constructing a decolonial, non-authoritarian and
non-capitalist Islamic anarchism, Islam and Anarchism
philosophically and theologically challenges the classist, sexist,
racist, ageist, queerphobic and ableist inequalities in the
entwined imperial context of societies like Egypt, and
settler-colonial societies such as Canada and the USA.
