The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria has been the subject of intense
scrutiny in the West. Considered by many to be the most dangerous
terrorist organisation in the world, it has become shrouded in
numerous myths and narratives, many emanating from the US, which
often fail to grasp its true nature. Against these narratives,
Mohammad-Mahmoud Ould Mohamedou presents a bold new theory of ISIS.
By tracing its genealogy and documenting its evolution in Iraq and
Syria, he argues that ISIS has transcended Osama Bin Laden's
original project of Al Qaeda, mutating into an unprecedented hybrid
form that distils postcolonial violence, postmodernity and the
emerging post-globalisation international order. This book analyses
ISIS from a social sciences perspective and unpacks its dynamics by
looking beyond superficial questions such as its terrorist nature
and religious rhetoric. It transforms our understanding of ISIS and
its profound impact on the very nature of contemporary political
violence.
