The Politicisation of Islam: A Case Study of Tunisia traces the
emergence, rise, and recent eclipse of the modern Tunisian Islamic
movement, al-Nahda, and provides a comprehensive analysis of its
political, social, and intellectual discourse. The first two
chapters concentrate on the factors behind the emergence of
al-Nahda and its politicization. The three major confrontations
between the movement and the Tunisian regime, which culminated in
1991 in the banning of all al-Nahda activities inside Tunisia, is
explored in Chapter Three. The author discusses the basic concepts
of political Islam in the movement's literature in Chapter Four, in
particular the Islamists' rejection of secularism, and al-Nahda's
proposal for a modern Islamic state in Chapter Five. In the
concluding chapter, the author addresses the Islamists' cultural
agenda and their insistence on an Islamic identity for Tunisia. A
valuable contribution to the study of political Islam, this is the
first complete analysis, in English, of the history of this modern
Tunisian Islamic movement.
