The contemporary resurgence of Islam in all of its varied
manifestations demands the attention of social scientists. This
ground-breaking book provides a unique insight into resurgent Islam
from the standpoint of sociology. Clearly written, and jargon free,
the book aims to create a more comprehensive and balanced
understanding of recent Islamic resurgence.
Amongst the many themes explored, the book brings together in a
single theoretical framework debates on the diversity of Islam,
moderate and radical forms of Islamic belief, secularisation, the
role of education and socialisation, the impact of globalization
processes, and 'Islamic terrorism' and its causes.
"Resurgent Islam" provides a genuinely refreshing sociological
alternative to the many politically loaded arguments on 'Islam and
the West'. As such, it encourages deeper reflection on the causes
of the current religious resurgence and associated conflicts.
The book will be essential reading for students across the
social sciences, and for anyone seeking to understand how Islam has
risen to prominence in local, national, and global contexts.
